Our Story
The Clan MacCallum-Malcolm Society of North America began with Andrew Burton McCallum’s determination to bring together MacCallums, McCallums, McCollums, Malcolms, and their families through a shared Scottish heritage.
After years of attending the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and searching for fellow clansmen and clanswomen, Andrew received permission from Lt. Colonel George Malcolm of Poltalloch on August 2, 1971, to establish the new Society. Its first officers were elected the following year, and the first Annual General Meeting was held at Grandfather Mountain in 1973.
What began as one man’s vision has grown into a North American organization dedicated to preserving our history, strengthening family connections, and carrying Clan MacCallum-Malcolm traditions forward.
