Clan MacMillan Society of Australia MacMillan’s are one of the oldest clans in Scotland, being descended from a 12th century religious devotee called Gilchrist, who was a son of Cormac, bishop of Dunkeld, a greatgreat-grandson of the 11th century King Macbeth.
The Gaelic MacMhaolain and MacGhillemhaoil has been transcribed phonetically by Scots and English speaking people in over 200 different ways. The majority use MacMillan. Macmillan, McMillan, McMullan, McMullen, McMullin, & Millen. Associated Sept names include Bell, Baxter, Brown, Walker and Blue.
The Clan MacMillan Society was formed in Glasgow in 1892. The present world chief, George MacMillan of MacMillan & Knap, is thought to be the 23rd generation after
Gilchrist Maolan, and the 12x GreatGrandson of Alexander MacMillan of Knap, the 15th century Constable of Castle Sween who generated a famous Celtic Cross in the ruined church of Kilmory Knap. This MacMillan is also remembered in Knapdale, for the Kilmory Cross tower built at Castle Sween - often said to be the oldest stone castle in Scotland - which he held for the Lord of the Isles in the 1470s.

Clan MacMillan Society of Australia Membership of the Australian Branch of The Clan MacMillan Society is by yearly subscription. Fees are listed on our web site.
The Australian branch of the Clan MacMillan Society was founded in 1983 with one of its main aims being to foster kinship between members of the MacMillan Clan and their various Septs.
Our Clan Society belongs to the Scottish Clans and Associations Council Inc. and Scots Victoria.
Members attend various Highland Games providing information to interested people. Victorian members attend the annual Kirkin’ of the Tartan Church Service at Scots Church in Melbourne. The main gathering of the Society is usually in October when we have our Annual General Meeting in Melbourne. We enjoy a shared lunch and have a guest speaker who’s interest is Clan related. 1t is an opportunity to compare family trees and exchange ideas about filling the gaps. We also meet at lease one a year, for lunch, usually in Melbourne as that’s where our largest membership base is. Other States are welcome to arrange their own get-togethers.
Newsletters are sent to members at least 3 times a year and have an assortment of Clan news from Australia and other Worldwide MacMillan Clans.
