The MacMillans are one of the oldest clans in Scotland, being descended from a 12th century monk or lay priest called Gilchrist; the third son of Cormac, Bishop of Dunkeld, whose great-great-grandfather was the Scots king Macbeth. The collective name of his descendants, the Clann an Mhaoil or "Children of the Tonsured One" comes from the Gaelic nickname that Gilchrist bore: Maolan, "The (little) Tonsured-One" or An Gillemaol, "The Tonsured Servant (of God)". The present chief's full title is MacMillan of MacMillan and Knap, which reflects the fact that as well as being the twenty third generation after Gilchrist Maolan, George MacMillan is also the 12xGreat-Grandson of Alexander MacMillan of Knap, the fifteenth century Constable of Castle Sween and the man commemorated by the famous MacMillan Cross at Kilmory Knap.

The New Mexico Branch of Clan MacMillan is in the start-up state. This means that we have no formal organization and no officers other than the conveners for the branch. Currently, we are scoping the level of interest in a local organization. As soon as we have a sufficient quantity of interested persons, we will hold a General Meeting to define our organization and structure. Based on the example of other Clan MacMillan organizations in the United States, we will most likely incorporate under one of the non-taxable provisions of the Internal Revenue Service for a not-for-profit organization. If you are interested in joining with Clan MacMillan, New Mexico, please contact us. |
