In the evolving landscape of Scottish heritage stewardship, the relationship between clan and family societies and the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) is more than symbolic—it is foundational. As custodians of ancestral memory and cultural continuity, clan societies have a unique opportunity to partner with NTS in preserving, interpreting, and activating the historic sites that once shaped their forebears’ lives. This list links surnames and families to specific sites managed by the National Trust for Scotland. The "Association" field indicates whether the link is a primary association, indirect through a cadet or family branch, or simply a connection through marriage with the primary family. Clicking on the heritage site will bring you to more details on that site.
