Though no longer concentrated in Scotland, MacMillans are still a clan, sharing common ancestors, a chief and a rich heritage reaching back to the Clan's 12th century progenitor, making Clan MacMillan one of Scotland's oldest clans. Regional and national branches of the clan are located in Britain, the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Gatherings are held every few years bringing the international membership together. See more about Clan MacMillan's branches and societies on the Clan MacMillan International website.
Clan MacMillan North Central States was initiated in 2000 at the suggestion of our Chief. Initially just Minnesota, we grew to include Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas. In 2002 Illinois was added. Missouri joined us in 2006. Our mission is to create awareness among our clanspeople of their heritage, their Clan and other MacMillans (of whatever spelling) and related septs through Highland games, social events and any forms of communication we can take advantage of. For more information contact one of our branch officers or the Clan Centre. Or see a page on how to join our branch.
