MacCallum Old Modern

Description

The MacCallums or Malcolms were a Highland clan based around western Scotland. The name Malcolm, also a forename, derived from Maol Chaluim, meaning ‘Devotee of Saint Columba’, the Irish missionary who founded the spiritually and culturally important monastery on the isle of Iona in the 6^th century. The Malcolms of Poltalloch were a senior branch of the clan, holding land in Argyll from the Campbells of Kilmartin from the 16^th century. A descendent, George Malcolm, produced the first Edinburgh Tattoo in 1950, now The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. The current seat of the Malcolms is Duntrune Castle in Argyll.

Their motto is In ardua tendit, He aims at difficult things
