Scottish clan
A
Scottish clan is a Scottish family which (usually but not always) has its own
tartan. Most clans in
Scotland didn't get one. 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
- Bruce
- Cameron
- Campbell
- Davidson
