To our nation’s eternal shame, it has its roots here in Scotland. ![Eek! :o :o](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png)
Interestingly for Mr Chick though, in staunchly presbyterian times…
The Klan’s interest in Britain’s Celtic fringe comes as no surprise, given its roots. Established in the defeated South after the American Civil War, the KKK took its name from the clans of Scotland and uses a highly selective view of Scottish history to support its philosophy.
It is believed that the movement started in the 1860s as a club for Confederate cavalry officers of Scots descent, before evolving into a secret society to inspire terror among freed slaves.
Some Klan rituals are based on those of the secretive Society of the Horseman’s Word, once active in north-east Scotland.
