Welcome to the Website for the Clan Coutts.

Having spent many years undertaking our individual genealogical research we are developing an Association for the many Coutts worldwide to improve their knowledge of their family history. It is evident that there is not a lot of information available in a central point, online, regarding the Coutts Family and this is a start

The Clan Coutts Society web site has been formed so that Coutts descendants can learn more about their ancestry. As a member of the Clan Coutts Society, you'll have access to all of this web site, through which you'll be able to communicate with others who share your interest in news of the clan and Scottish heritage. You will also be able to learn about the history of our clan, our people, our tartan. Membership in the Clan Coutts Society is absolutely free, and hopefully provides some fun.

Some of the primary objectives of the Society are to reunite all those with the name Coutts and associated spellings from around the globe as one Clan with one useful web  resource. To research, collect histories, biographies and genealogical information relevant to those of the name Coutts. In the above tabs, and many sub-tabs, is a lot of detail regarding the research todate. Perhaps we could eventually begin an international collaboration to start the long journey to have our Clan officially recognised? Currently we are beginning with the Scottish heraldry and history of Coutts and Cout(e)s and Couttes. Later we will look at the English families and the Scots Colt's and Coat(e)s who use similar Armorial Bearings.

If you  want to post your family details, or you have a good story, please also let us know, it is easy to create a page. Please become a member by signing up, it takes no time and needs participation to thrive.

*Notes:

1. Family names include Coutts, Couttes, Cout, Couts, Coutes, Coutis, Couttss, Coutys, Coot, Coots, Cootes, Coats, Coates, Quhilts, Cowts, Cowtes, Cowltis, Cowtis, Cowttis, Cottis, Cotis, Coittes, Coittis, Cutis, Cult, Cults, Cultis, Coult, Coults, Coultes or Colt.        One common connection is usually the use of the "stags head and pheon (arrow)" in the family coat of arms. The variations often arose because many were illiterate and a scribe noting a birth or death could use many spellings for what he heard.

2. This is site is built with a Ning Social Community platform which has some limitations. Please explore content under both Tabs AND Drop-down Tabs
