Clans - Middle English, from Scottish Gaelic clann, or “family”.  It is a traditional social unit in the Scottish Highlands, consisting of a number of families claiming a common ancestor and led by a family chieftain.

 

Unlike most Knights of Saint Andrew chapters within the United States, the Valley of Richmond (at this time) has the unique distinction of utilizing Clans or regional local organizations in order to allow its members to be enabled to support their Richmond Temple without always having the need to drive to one location on the map.  This regionalization has the effect of activating the entire geographical area of the Valley without the logistical strain upon its members.  Each clan is a lower echelon of support to it’s KSA Chapter and each Chieftain works on behalf the Knight Commander and his chapter officers to support the needs of the General Secretary.
