About Us
Scotclans is a family run business. The site www.scotclans.com was set up by Sgian Dhu Interactive in 1995 as an information resource and as a means of selling It’s first CD Rom Title The Clans & Tartans of Scotland. This was the first ever Scottish History CD Rom title to be released. The site soon became a popular clan history resource achieving great popularity across the web.
In November 2003 Sgian Dhu Interactive was dissolved and one of the founding partners, Rodger Moffet took over the website and rebranded the business as ScotClans. in January of 2004 the new ScotClans website was launched. The original scotclans.com information was enhanced and extended and new shopping areas were added.
ScotClans has been setup with three key objectives:
1. To become a unique reference point for Scottish Clan information, to this end we have a policy of only sourcing information from verified print published sources. We do not gather information from other websites as the information in these cannot be verified.
2. To provide an unrivalled quality of service to customers and all others who come into contact with us; we will try to answer all enquiries when we can and to do our utmost to assist customers wherever possible.
3. To support Scottish manufacturers in our sector and to act responsibly within the Scottish Retailer and E-tailer community in general.
Since the launch of the site in 2004 the site has grown dramtically, Scotclans is now by far Scotland’s largest and most comprehensive Clan and Armigerous Family information site and the retail side of the business has grown to be one of the largest ranges of Scottish made products available anywhere. As the retail side has grown Scotclans has been able to fund more research on Clan information with staff dedicated to extending this part of the site.
