The Clan Lamont Society of Canada welcomes both Canadian and international members. The Lamont family is one of the oldest in Scotland and its members are found around the world.
The head of Clan Lamont is Chief Peter Noel Lamont of that Ilk.
Rev. Lamont is Roman Catholic priest in Australia. He was born on 21 November 1955, and became chief upon the death of his father, Noel Brian Lamont, on16 July 1972. His branch of the family came to Australia in 1855, led by his great great grandfather, Edward Buller Lamont.
The chiefship moved to Australia in 1929, when Peter's great uncle, Edward Luis Lamont, became the 22nd chief. Peter has a younger brother, Gregory, who is married, and has sons, so the chief's line will continue in Australia. He also has a sister, Roxanne. Father Lamont was ordained at St. Patrick's Cathedral, in Parramatta on 22 November 1986.
The chief's last visit to Canada was in July of 1996.
The head of the society is President Jean Watson , founder of both the Clan Lamont Society of Canada 25 years ago and Tartan Day in Nova Scotia.
The Clan Lamont motto is Ne Parcas Nec Spernas - "Neither Spare Nor Scorn". Our family badge, shown in the banner above along with our tartan, contains the red hand of Ulster and depicts our Irish roots.
