The Clan Galbraith Society (CGS, formerly the Clan Galbraith Association - CGA), is actively seeking members interested in their Galbraith family history and Scottish customs.
We are a worldwide family with diverse interests bound together by our Scottish heritage.
The name Galbraith is reportedly from the Gaelic words
“Clan-a-Bhreatannich”
or “children of the foreigner Briton”.
Our newsletter title 'The Red Tower', was taken from ancient
verse, which was translated to the following:
The Red Tower is recognized as referring to Dumbarton Castle, former seat of the Royal House of Strathclyde.
