The Ulster-Scots of Colorado is an educational and social organization committed to the promotion of the Ulster-Scots history and heritage. We focus on both the colonization of Ulster during the reign of King James I (17th Century), known as the “Plantation of Ulster” as well as the “Great Migration” of the 18th Century as it pertains to the near quarter of a million immigrants who left the north of Ireland (Ulster) and settled in America. The majority of these immigrants were the descendants of Lowland and Border Scots as well as Northern English. They sought to carve out of the American wilderness a better life for themselves and their families. In the process, they helped establish and build our great American republic. Once in America, these immigrants came to be known as Scots-Irish. In the British Isles they are known also as Ulstermen or Ulster-Scots. Today nearly 22 million Americans can trace the roots of at least one family member to these hardy settlers from the North of Ireland.

The Innes Clan Society welcomes you! Founded in 1984, we seek to draw together all who have a connection to the Innes family originating in 1160 in Moray, Scotland. That year, King Malcolm IV (“Malcolm the Maiden”) granted land to Berowald of Flanders. The land, described by the Gaelic word “Innis”, gave its name to the family. Whether your name is Innes, one of the many spelling variants, or one of the recognized associated names, or simply any name with an ancestry of Innes members, we invite you to join our Society. Look through these pages to learn more.

The Mackenzie clan crest was a symbol of allegiance, used by clan members to show allegiance to their clan chief. The clan Mackenzie crest features a mountain in flames, and the motto ‘I shine not burn’. The clan’s other motto ‘help the king’ gives a firm nod to their dedication to the monarchy.

On May 15, 1986, a group of Clansmen established the Clan Donnachaidh Society of the Rocky Mountains, electing Robert H. Baskin as President, Barbara Bromgard as Vice-President/Treasurer, and Curtis W. Roberts as Secretary. This marked the beginning of the Rocky Mountain branch, which aimed to share and preserve the history of the Clan Donnachaidh. The history presented here includes stories, documents, and research from both international and local sources, highlighting the varying and sometimes conflicting narratives that make up the clan's past. These histories are shared at meetings and games to offer members and visitors a broad understanding of the society’s heritage. The Clan Donnachaidh, or Clan Robertson, traces its origins to the Celtic rulers of Atholl and the 4th Chief, Robert Riabhach, also known as "Grizzled Robert," who played a key role in capturing Sir Robert Graham, the assassin of King James I. The clan's history is marked by feuds, land struggles, and involvement in historical events like the Jacobite uprisings. Notable figures include the “Poet Chief” Alexander Robertson, who supported the exiled Stewarts and led the clan in 1715 and 1745. Over time, the clan faced forfeitures and struggles to maintain their lands, with the Barony of Struan being restored in 1784. Despite setbacks, the Clan Donnachaidh continues to preserve its legacy through societies like the one formed in 1893 in Edinburgh.
