This web site for the Scottish Clans in Nova Scotia, includes,
A skeleton home page for each Scottish clan in Nova Scotia. Clan societies operating within Nova Scotia are invited to submit material for their home pages.
Each home page includes: Clan mottos, septs, tartan, badges, etc. Very minimal, enough to get the home page started. We hope to have a tartan background on first page of each clan's homepage, using one of its specific clan tartans. It needs input from each clan. Each home page for each clan belongs to the clan, and depends on the clan to supply information. Material submitted may be subject to minor editing. Suggested Information: * Information from clan brochures, or from clan newsletters * Brief history of the clan in Scotland and in Nova Scotia * Aims and objectives of the clan * Membership requirements * Announcement of upcoming events; history of past events. * Any information the clan would like to share with the general public, members and/or potential members. * Need clan septs, badges, mottos, etc. I may not have the correct information. This is a very inexpensive means of getting clan news to clan members and potential members. Contact person or people for each clan needed: prefer those with e-mail addresses. On each page, there is a mail-link to me. I need to be able to relay queries to the clan, as quickly as possible. If a clan has no one with e-mail access, I will pass along the name and address of a contact person. I will not put home addresses online, unless specifically given permission to do so. Instead, I will pass the name and address of the contact person to any person requesting information on a specific clan.General Information suitable for Scottish Clans Site on CCN:
* Nova Scotia (New Scotland), our heritage, our tartan, etc.
