Yield Not to Adversity
Gaelic: Na gèill do chruaidh-chas
Welcome to the Doig Clan Reunion 2010 Canada Website

"The mark of a Scot of all classes [is that] he ...
remembers and cherishes the memories of his forebears, good or bad;
and here burns alive in him a sense of identity with the dead even to the twentieth generation."
-- Robert Louis Stevenson --

Calling All Doigs, Doiges, Doaks… any and all of the Dog Clan…
Plan on joining your brothers and sisters in August 2010, in the beautiful town of Perth, Ontario, Canada for the first Doig Gathering to be held outside of the United Kingdom!
Why Perth? Why not, say, Ottawa… Kingston... Montreal... Toronto…? Well, besides having been declared the “Prettiest Town in Ontario” (by TV Ontario), and having been a winner of the Prince of Wales Award for Architectural Heritage - a distinction it shares with such celebrated beauty spots as La Ville de Quebec and Victoria B.C. – Perth shares the name of, and was named after, Perth, Kinross, Scotland, the ancestral home area of the Doigs. And add to that the fact that it lies midway between Ottawa and Kingston (~55 miles/90 km away), and between Montreal and Toronto (200 miles/300 km), with Quebec City to the east and Niagara Falls to the west just a bit further on.
Does somebody need more convincing?

An old Gaelic proverb says, 'Remember the men from whence you came.'
(Cuimhnich air na daoine o'n d'thainig thu.)
