Short History: Following the publication of the book,”The New England Davidsons”(1983) commemorating the arrival of William Davidson in 1854, who settled his family in the New England Tableland of N.S.W., it was decided to form a Clan Society.
Out of this family nucleus the Clan Davidson in Australia has grown to encompass over five-hundred members (in 2002) from all over the country.
As the Chieftainship had lain dormant since 1917, a descendant of the House of Tulloch was eventually discovered in N.Z. Alister Guthrie Davidson was inaugurated at the Celtic Festival at Glen Innes on 17th May 2000 becoming the first Chief to be inaugurated outside Scotland>
