A
Scottish clan is a Scottish family which (usually but not always) has its own
tartan[?]. Most clans in Scotland didn't get on. Also note that some
tartans[?] don't come from clans but from regiments-for example
Black Watch[?]. As names change a lot of clans go by more than one name-MacCutcheon is the same clan as
MacDonald for instance. Also one family name may have more than one clan.
Here is a partial list of Scottish clans:
- Armstrong
- Campbell
- Cameron
- Davidson
- Douglas
- MacBeth
- MacDonald/MacCutcheon
- MacDougal
- MacGregor (Rob Roy)
- Stewart/Stuart House of Stuart)
- Wallace (William Wallace)
- Williams
