We are the families of the Scottish Clan known as the House of Gordon
living in Virginia and surrounding Mid-Atlantic States!
These families comprise the following:
What We Do
As an organization it is our goal to preserve and educate all who are interested in our
Scottish heritage and culture.
The House of Gordon has a proud heritage and history
in Scotland and throughout the world. The Scottish people have given the world so
much from the very foundations of our American freedoms to a myriad of inventions.
The Gordons have played a large part in the history and culture of Scotland, America,
and many other major countries of the world.

You will find us at several Highland Games and Celtic Heritage Festivals throughout
the year (see our schedule of events). Our Convener, David Todd, and the Board
of the House of Gordon Virginia, invite you to join us at the Gordon Tent and
have fun celebrating our common heritage as an extended family!
