Welcome to the Internet home of the

Clan MacNicol / Nicolson in Canada

The Canadian Branch of the Society was formed for the promotion and preservation of the heritage of the Clan MacNicol in Canada.

It is not only a Canadian society. It is a part of an international society with branches (Societies) around the world – in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and,  of course Scotland . All are dedicated to preserving and promoting our common heritage and culture.

The Society does more than preserve history. It actively promotes, fosters and encourages the family spirit of the Clan MacNicol (Nicholson) among its members around the world through social intercourse and friendship among the members of the Society and Clan.

It is dedicated to informing and educating members of the society about both their clan history and
culture. The Society as it is constituted around the world is also dedicated to preserving Clan MacNicol history in the New World, Australia and New Zealand.

The Society participates as a Clan Society in Highland games across North America. The main purpose of this activity is to promote the clan and Scottish culture in North America. The other reason is because it is fun.

To illustrate our dedication to preserving our heritage the Society has successfully raised funds to purchase back and maintain clan lands in Scotland for the greater clans use at International gatherings and upon visits by individual members to the clans homeland on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

Today we are raising funds in order to provide scholarships for the children of some fortunate clan members. The selectively awarded scholarships will see certain children sent off to learn traditional MacNicol Gaelic songs, highland music and dance at summer camps in Nova Scotia run by the St. Annes Gaelic College in Cape Breton.

Please browse our site and check out the various links to all things MacNicol and Celtic culture.

Thank-you.
