The International Clan Galbraith Association was founded in 1977. Its primary goal was to interest all Galbraiths throughout the world in preserving the last vestige of former Clan holdings in Scotland (Culcreuch Castle and the Galbraith Woods) located in Fintry, Stirlingshire, Scotland. The Clan Galbraith Association of North America was formed in January 1980, and held their first formal meeting in May 1981 at Culcreuch Castle. Several years later, the International Clan Galbraith Association was disbanded and their records were passed on to the Clan Galbraith Association of North America. Therefore, CGANA has became the surviving world wide organization of the Galbraith Clan. We have members in Australia, Germany, England and other countries, with a very strong and supportive group in Canada. We have a Clan Galbraith library with records and documents about Galbraith history.

The ancient Gaelic verse: "Bhreatunnach on Talla Dheirg, Uaisle ' shliochd Albann do shloinne."
