There was a prophecy given in the 13th century by Thomas the Rhymer which stated, "As long's there's an eagle in Pennan, There will be a Baird in Auchmedden."
Clan Baird has a dream to bring the eagles back to the cliffs at Pennan. We plan to provide a “place” for the Bairds from around the world to “come home to” Scotland. We want to lend a hand and help revitalize New Aberdour – home of the old Baird Auchmedden Estate. We want to promote the culture of North-East Scotland for its people and mostly for its children, furthering a feeling of place and identity. We want to build a sense of community for Clan Baird in New Aberdour, meet our neighbors, attract visitors, expand tourism, and bring the eagles back to the cliffs of Pennan.
We have some exciting news to share with you. Clan Baird Society now has a place “to come home to”. Clan Baird Society Scotland has successfully contracted to purchase the Dower Hotel in New Aberdour, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Located within the landscape of the old Baird Auchmedden Estate, this will be a permanent home for a Clan Baird Centre. Funding to purchase the Dower Hotel comes from extremely generous donations provided by two Clan Baird Society Worldwide Board members. Clan Baird Society Scotland will own the building. Planning is now underway on how best to restore and re-purpose the building as our Clan Baird Centre (yet to be named) and as a Community Centre for the citizens of New Aberdour.
