Brown? What tartan!? Who is to know!

Hi there-
The Clan Broun/Brown need not be a sept of any other clan. We have our own castle in Coulston and a Clan Chief (Sir Wayne Broun). Sir Wayne and Lady Carlie will be at the Glenngarry Highland Games this year should you want to meet him. The problem as of the last 40 years was that the Head of Clan Brown emigrated to Scotland in the late 1800's and as the Chieftainship passed down, there was less involvement with Highland culture and Clanship, thus the Clan Brown was no where to be found. That all changed with the present Chief and he and his wife are going balls to the wall to get the Clan into respectable shape!

The name Brown is of course not confirned to Scotland and whilst there may be a recognised head of the name Broun/Brown that does not make them a clan. The Brouns of Coulston were a Lowland family and there was never a Highland clan Brown.
