The Scotland Project is hard at work improving profiles for our Scottish Ancestors and we would love you to join us! The Project covers all things Scottish, so no matter what you interests are, there's a team waiting for you!

You'll begin with a journey down our new Tartan Trail (you can learn more about it here) where you'll not only improve and/or learn new skills, but will also meet new people and learn to work within an active, collaborative WikiTree community. Once you've completed the Tartan Trail, you'll be invited to join other teams within the project that interest you.

Membership Information

If you are new to WikiTree and have not become a full member you will need to upgrade to Wiki Genealogist Level. Sign our Honor Code to receive your Wiki Genealogist badge, which is a necessity for editing profiles. Full details can also be found on the Scotland Project home page. This will also give you a time line of what to expect from the Tartan Trail.

To start your journey, post an ANSWER below!

I'm interested to join the Scotland project. The furthermost paternal ancestor I have been able to identify is Alexander McFarlane (1740 - 1787).

I can't believe how many ancestrial lines start in Scotland... even my very Swedish line male line starts in Montrose. I want to learn more.

I have Scottish ancestors: Benjamin Laing (1745-1819); his father was another Benjamin Laing; his parents were a William Laing and Mary Blackford; other name are Munday and Sutton.

Answer 7 · 2020-10-07T14:05:16+0000

I would love to join the Scotland project. I have many lines leading back to Scotland from Colonial America to early post-Am Rev periods.

Answer 8 · 2020-10-07T14:26:56+0000

I would be i interested in working with the Scotland Project. My Scots ancestors were transported in the 1600s to Maine & Massachusetts, later marrying into other Scots who came after them.

I have done a fair amount of study of this period and the events leading up to the battle with British and forced marches in the aftermath.

Count me in as part of the team!

Answer 9 · 2020-10-07T14:38:23+0000

I would like to join the Scotland project. I have followed one great grandparent (Moore/More/Moir) back to Scotland and have reason to believe that another (Watson) goes back to Scotland too. There is a possibility of more.

Answer 10 · 2020-10-07T14:48:53+0000

I took an Ancestry DNA test and results came back confirming that I was 55% Irish, not surprising since many of my ancestors came from Kilkenny. However, Ancestry recently refined their results, and now they show that I am 41% Scottish and only 20% Irish. This is surprising. I feel like I've been cut adrift, and 30 years of genealogical research has been for naught! I have no confirmed Scottish ancestors that I know of, but a couple of brick walls that may reveal them.

Answer 11 · 2020-10-07T14:50:56+0000

I would like to join the Scotland Project. I have an interest in the Covenenters and their emigration to Ireland and North America.

Answer 12 · 2020-10-07T15:02:48+0000

Hello! I would like to join the Scotland project and follow the Tartan Trail to help "dig up" answers to ancestral questions in my and others pasts. A huge part of my DNA is tied to the ancient land of Alba and this is part of my quest to follow those trails and unearth the lost stories.

Answer 13 · 2020-10-07T15:21:15+0000

I'm very interested in all of my ancestry. I know nothing about when my Scottish ancestors came to America. I do know that Crawford is a very old name in Lanarkshire, but have no information of where I fit into the overall picture.

Answer 14 · 2020-10-07T15:22:29+0000

I am of the Henderson Clan from Scotland that still to this day have Fordell Castle in Fife. I also have Scottish blood from my fathers side but not quite as familiar with

Thank you
