The Elliots were one of the most active, most powerful and most notorious of the Scottish Border clans. These days, Elliots can be found in almost every country in the world; we’ve also become a little less rambunctious. That’s not to say we’ve faded into the background. Elliots have made their mark in politics, the military, entertainment and many other areas. The Clan tartan is also well known for its distinctive blue colour. The society has several international chapters and members can be found all over the world.
