Clan Gillies Today

ChiefGillies has no chief of its own and does not appear on the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs' list. The Clan Chattan Association names Gillies among the septs of Clan Macpherson, placing the name within the Clan Chattan confederation, and COSCA's surname lookup also points Gillies to MacPherson; COSCA points the spelling Gillis to Clan Donald instead, so the name is listed under more than one clan.

Questions about Clan Gillies

Does the name Gillies have its own motto or crest?

Neither the Clan Chattan Association's Clan Macpherson page nor COSCA's surname lookup records a motto or a crest for Gillies itself. The name is listed as an associated family, so any motto or crest belongs to the clan it is listed under rather than to Gillies.

Is Gillies a sept of Clan Macpherson?

Both the Clan Chattan Association and COSCA's surname lookup list Gillies with Clan Macpherson. COSCA points the variant spelling Gillis to Clan Donald instead, so the name appears under more than one clan.

Does Clan Gillies have a chief?

No. No Gillies chief appears on the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs' list; the name is listed as an associated family of other clans.

Who was Lord Gillies?

Adam Gillies, Lord Gillies (1760-1842), was a Scottish judge and the youngest son of Robert Gillies of Little Keithock in Forfarshire. He was admitted advocate on 14 July 1787, became an ordinary judge of the Court of Session in November 1811 and a lord of justiciary in March 1812, and was appointed a judge of the Court of Exchequer in Scotland in 1837.
