The Clan MacLeod Society, USA was founded in 1954 to establish a foundation for charitable, historical and educational pursuits for clan members in all fifty states. The roots of Clan MacLeod are in the Highlands and Islands of northwestern Scotland. Since the days of Leod in the 13th century, MacLeod’s and their Sept’s have grown into a worldwide clan with active societies in ten countries and potential societies in several other countries. The Clan MacLeod Society, USA and its sister societies provide a vehicle to communicate and strengthen the bonds of fellowship in our far-flung family – people of the name MacLeod (however spelled); families with names long associated with the Clan MacLeod; and MacLeod descendants under other surnames; as well as persons / friends with an interest in the rich heritage of the Clan MacLeod.
