Unlike Coats of
Arms and Crests, there are no strict rules or laws governing the wearing of
tartans. Typically, people wear the tartan associated with their surname or
district. |
|
The crest of a
Chief may be worn by members of the Family (or Clan) and of approved Septs
and followers of the Chief, within a strap and buckle bearing the
Chief's motto. It is for personal wear only, and may not be used on business
cards, stationery or ornaments, unless these are the personal property of
the Chief. (A modified version is shown here.) |
What Is The
Circle of Duries?
|
Membership
Benefits
|
|
The aims of the Circle
are threefold
 |
to provide a place where Duries from all over the world can find out
more about their ancestries and origins, meet online and exchange
information, discuss matters of relevance and get to know others with an
interest in the Durie name. |
|
to foster scholarship
and research into Durie history and related subjects, and to establish a repository and
Archive in a suitable
location (possibly Dunfermline, Fife) containing every available document,
charter, certificate, record, published material, graphic and image
pertaining to the Duries, plus extensive genealogical data |
|
to organise events, visits and
occasions connected with Durie history and heritage |

Offers on Durie Family
merchandise
|
|
|
This web site is the first incarnation
of the The Durie Family's outreach activities. In order to achieve the other
aims, we will, of course, need funds. We will therefore be
offering Durie merchandise and published material through the on-line
shop, family history services, including
genealogy on-line
and, as a paid service, individual family
searches and the achievement of
Arms
legally in Scotland for those who are eligible. We will also actively seek investments, donations and grants. |

The
Circle of Duries will be looking for Ambassadors to be the local contacts
for Duries in various part of the world.
