Clan Mar is a Scottish clan of the Scottish Lowlands.[2] It is also officially known as the Tribe of Mar.[3] The chiefs of the Clan Mar were the original Earls of Mar, although this title later went via an heiress to the Douglases in the late fourteenth century, and then to the Stewarts before going to the Erskines. The current chief of Clan Mar is Margaret of Mar, Countess.
