The Clann was  formed in the late summer of 1985 by like minded Scotsmen and Scots women to promote, preserve and create awareness for Scottish Culture and Heritage.  In a relatively short period of time we achieved our initial aim in creating one of the finest living history societies in the country. From a few members we have grown to an organisation known and respected throughout Europe for it's professionalism, authenticity and very high standards of skill in the use of period weapons with our priority being safety at all times.  All this has been achieved by study, research, training and great pride in what we do.

The Clann has over the years built up a fearsome reputation, not only as Scotland's top fight display team, but also as Europe's most entertaining and authentic sword and combat group, performing in Scotland, England, Wales, Brittany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Hungary, Austria, Ukraine, USA and Italy.

The Clann has made many friends in all parts of the world who support their efforts to educate and entertain the public using an unique blend of visual and satirical humour to educate and promote Scotland's rich and varied past.

The Clann's aims and goals have changed and grown over the years. We are now involved in film, television, theatre, corporate entertainment, education,  community productions and historical festivals. Providing a wide range of services from technical support, costume design, props, fight & stunt arrangements to historical research. We do not however, trace family trees or research lineage, there are other agencies better suited than us if you want to discover your Scottish roots. 

We do have our own production company producing and participating in period films and an entertainment company providing a full package for any event indoor or outdoor.

Please feel free to explore our web site and examine some of the many photos on archive or even watch a video clip showing some of the weapons we wield.
