My MacLennan grandmother’s grandfather was given land in Nova Scotia after he was injured in Scotland in the Queen’s Black Watch. He was also given the option of a pension but chose the land still called MacLennan’s Mt to this day. The original homestead was dismantled and move to the nearby town of Stellarton. My grandfather’s family, the Murrays, also came to Nova Scotia at the same time (1801) and also settled in Pictou County Nova Scotia, both sides of the family from the Grampian Mts in the Highlands. I am so very proud of my heritage!
I'm an enrollerd Eastern band cherokee (cherokee NC USA), but my mother's non native are the Ritchie( Anna Christine Ritchie) who's family came to america in the late 1700 hundreds. of the old clan chatam, ( touch not a cat, bot a glove)Which became know as macintosh, and their spouses are the Campbell and Keith (James Alexander Ritchie born 1757 stewarton Ayrshire scotland , (his great grandfather was james Richie born 1650 glasgow, Lanark Scotland) he (James Alexander Ritchie) died in america in 1800s.

My people( The cherokee) still maintain our clans... So we could understand ( way back then) when they said they were of a "clan".. but very different from ours. As a side bar: I see my family as a "clan chatam", not a mackintosh... Still respect them for who my ancestors say they are. "Clan Chatam". So mackintosh be damed! They are , "Chatam" to them the first. "Don't touch a wild cat without a glove" . I have more to research because I have been told they came here because of the jacobite rebellion... But why they came here doesn't matter, just that they did and they became married to who they did and then... Their off spring became married to my mother and father to create me... Thier daughter, the keeper of my family...
My grandmother was Cherokee and I am also named after the Strachan Clan. I have no idea where to start researching my Cherokee roots as she died in 1966. And my grandfather didn't speak of her much before he passed. It's interesting to find a other Cherokee-Scot connection. I wonder how common this was.
I never been on Scotland, but I been obsessed with the history of that country for the past twenty five years, I think it is amazing all I know is by reading and documentaries on History shows on TV, and the most amusing thing is I hispanics.
Well, I think it's great that you are interested in Scottish history. The history of Scotland truly is amazing. And that might be an understatement, ha ha. I know some people from Portugal that live in Glasgow. I highly recommend you visit one day. Thank you for watching!

Got campbell cameron mckay sutherland and dalrymple. The sutherland name docked in canada on lord selkirks boats. Or 1812 war dead boats. So i looked up the name alexander macbeth sutherland of clyne from hbc seven oaks massacre era. Then i realized he must of changed the middle name from mckay to macbeth. Cause i seen no names macbeth in the cumberland war. Culloden massacre.
It really is truly remarkable that, for such numerically small nation , the Scots and Scottish descendants hold so many distinguished positions of great accomplishment in world history. Alba gu brath!

Though it does make you wonder why some of the most important clans with great historical impact are left out, such an Cumin... Especially when one mentions how Robert d Bruce stabbed the red Cumming, but then doesn't mention his name or clan ... After all, they were kings of Scotland and the arch rivals of the Bruce's...
I find it interesting how rarely Scottish emigration to Canada is mentioned. Nova Scotia, where some traditions still survive, surely merits an occasional nod. (No, I'm not from Nova Scotia, have never been, but hope that despite my age and the corona virus, I may yet see that hope fulfilled.)
Really? I've seen lots of videos and documentaries of Nova Scotia and the Scots that settled there. Mostly about "The Hector" ship that they sailed on from the highlands to Nova Scotia.
The fact that I am of Scottish blood (at least 8%) from both sides of my family, and on one side is a descendant of the Chisholm bloodline. I can be safe to say it's mere coincidence that led me to take a good look at anything Scottish clan related videos. This one is a great start to say the least. :)
From NC---my grandmother spoke Scots-Gaelic. She was born in 1888---from Western NC. I only learned this a few years before she passed at 104, when a woman in her apartment (from Scotland) was speaking what I thought was a "strange" language. She never taught her son (my dad) or me!! It was explained there was still some secrecy or shame associated with using the Gaelic. 😞 Part of my family is also Scots from Eaatern NC--- as might be guessed from the name I use for posting. Amazing to me how the Scots culture is still present/underlying US history--no matter if some history was never known or taught.
Wow.......that is really cool! You know a lot of people think that Nova Scotia was the only place in N. America where Scots Gaelic is spoken. That isn't true. North Carolina is certainly a big hot bed for Scots. And the traditions are carried on down there too. 104 years old. That's amazing!
@@Evanmonster1 Grandfather Moutain in NC was a traditional place where the clans are remembered. And they used to have a huge gathering of the clans every spring---I have not been in a while, and of course Covid now. Much love to our friends in Nova Scotia!!
@@morgainedepolloc4161 I'm from Kings Mountain NC originally. Growing up I remember my grandmother telling stories of much of her family speaking Gaelic when she was a child. Apparently even on the male Cobb side were many Scott's who came over after 1746.
@@Davidrcobb Thank you so much for sharing this. It means a lot to here from someone with similar background. They had to move to Newport News VA for work in the early 20th Century. I finally went back for a visit---it was extremely moving. They had/.have been in those hills since way before the US Revolutionary War.
@@Davidrcobb BTW--I am related to Suttons, Childress, Dills, Ensleys-- family originally based in Sylva/Dillsboro. And yes, distant cousin to Popcorn Sutton
henrison or henry gunn or eainruig the pict chief? mine are the ancestors of the hendersonville nc family, henrisone descent. my ???? ggm in scotland is a henderson supposedly I descend from this, but no knowledge of who Henri or Henry was, unfortunatly nor clear idea on medieval heraldry or knights, only possible ideas of henrisone heraldry before 1450s
Lol! Perhaps if you knew the MacFarlane clan history and why they arent mentioned a lot, you would not be so proud. 🤣 Stick to being American. Just because your grandparents in 1800s ran from their responsibilities doesnt make you "scottish" .
@@PostPatriot Haha. Forgot about this dumba$$ery. And just for the record, ignoring the random accusation about my grandparents, that’s exactly what it means. Or do you honestly not know how heritage works? It doesn’t matter if someone moves to another country. Their ethnic identity is unchanged. Everyone with a brain knows that.
McFarland is Scottish Irish right? My family left Scotland then tyrone Ireland to Maine and my great grandfather had a ranch in Montana a hardworking family man!!
Bloodline, however impressive, is not as decisive as spirit: People you love to learn about and commit your life energies to: that is your clan...that is your people.. Sometimes we are surprised by how the THUNDERBOLT hits. History can be, and often is, changed by one person's free decision, one person's commitment.
I’m a Reid of the Clan Donnachaidh (Robertson). It’s always interesting learning about ones heritage and Scotland in general. I knew Robertson and Duncan were common with Clan Donnachaidh.
Coming from a small clan, Rayburn on my mother's side, and McGaha on my father's, Scotland is a place I long to see once. I know the Rayburn name is associated with Ayreshire, but that's about it. The McGaha name was associated with Presbyterians who immigrated to Ulster, then to America.
President Donald Trump's mother was Mary Anne MacLeod, a Scot, born in the village of Tong, Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Her first language was Gaelic, and she also learned to speak English before she immigrated to New York at age 18. She often returned to Scotland to visit relatives. Through his mother, Donald Trump carries royal blood. His 20th times great-grandfather was England's King Edward III and Trump is also a direct descendant of Norway's King Haakon V. Trump is also related to royalty in Denmark and Iceland.
I'm named after my paternal grandmother Jess McGregor whom I never got to meet🥺 Thanks so much for a very professional and quality peek into the clans of my Grandma's beautiful homeland🏴🇭🇲
No problem. Funny, I just bought a MacGregor modern tartan throw rug/blanket for my bed, ha ha. Recently found MacGregors in my family, too. One of the best clans ever! Cheers and thanks for watching!
In the Lanarkshire, Monkland area just East of the River Clyde there are also the Scot family, with their own castle and there is the Adam Clan on the South East border land near the wall. They had a castle also. There are Easton’s , Grant’s and Henderson’s all from that area who are intermarried now and emigrated from Scotland ending up in San Bernardino, Ca. and Australia by way of New Zealand. Also Fletcher’s and many more all part of the Mac Donald Clan Rannoc.
My family name is Bean! We are McBean of Scotland 🏴 my great great great father was Scotsman of Scotland they travel to America late 1600s to 1800s all my fathers who was a Bean they marry English women in Virginia and then final came Judge Phantly Roy Bean jr married a Spanish woman but her kids still carry over the name Bean! So short 100 years later I was born Bi racial lightskin brown or black but I’m a Scottish and French descendant I’m mostly Scottish because of my family name live on and I’m Scottish Bean great great etc Grand child of Roy Bean!
lol! Yes, one would hope that to be the case, but in all our family's history in Scotland (from Somerled through the Stewarts and the majority of the clans named here) there was constant feuding, countless skirmishes, and frequent warring for many, many centuries, often using daughters as marriage fodder to patch up grievances and to build or renew alliances. All led by the aristocrats. Plus ca change, plus ca la meme chose.
Gosh,I didn't know that! I can't tolerate wheat - so it's in ma genes,eh? We were brought up on lots of oats, a very versatile crop, still a staple in my diet today. Coincidentally or not, McDougalls has been a major flour producer in the UK for 150yrs+. Flour bombs! Scots have always been very inventive!
Haven't seen the whole thing yet so I'm commenting early, but I wonder if my clan will be mentioned. Small clan from Galloway/Dumphries. We are said to be descended from Somerled's youngest son. One of the more notorious members of my clan was known as Cut or Cutler MacCulloch. Our clan pretty much fizzled out and disappeared at the end of the 1600s when our last true clan chief was executed in 1697. Control of the clan went elsewhere after that and just kind of disappeared. Our last recognize Clan Chief 's family moved here to the US and all the lands we held and our ancestral estate ended up in the hands of others. Cardenas castle is now in ruins.
I am a little saddened that the Septs of the large Clans were not named, so that those families could know which larger clan they belong to. Our Clan, was in Glencoe, and when the MacDonalds arrived it was decided between the Chiefs that the clans would intermarry rather than fighting over the land. We’re we’re of the Clan Mac Eanurig(Henry & Hendry & Henderson). There were many other names associated with the MacDonalds too.
What happened to the clan system when Norman French culture arrived in Scotland(After Matilda and Stevens civil war called the Anarchy)?. De Bruc was Norman French as well as most of the aristocracy of Scotland as well, Finding this out made me look at Scottish history in a different way. The Auld alliance between Scotland and France made more sense when you consider that most of Scotland's leadership was Norman French and didn't speak the native language
The current clan system is medieval - plenty of Norsemen involved (e.g. MacDonald) - yet the connection between _Brittons_ and _Bretons_ and the *Celtic clan system e.g. in Ireland* is older than William the Conqueror. A comparison with Wales would be interesting as it maintained it's ways from Saxon and Viking (Danish) influence until the arrival of the 'Normans'.
Cool video thanks, I live in America but I am a a descendant of clan maclennan which is my grandmothers last name and my great grandmother was a Mackay still haven’t made. To Scotland I am 29 and hope to make it to the McLennan or Mackay clan gathering one of these years my sister went to the Maclennan gathering a couple years ago I was very envious of her for that. But I am super proud of my ancestors and am fascinated with learning more! Cheers!
Thanks, I'm also American, ha ha. And I also have MacKay ancestry as well. In fact, I'll be setting up my MacKay tent at the highland games next month. I was supposed to go to Sutherland for all things MacKay related, but I booked my flight for late March of last year......didn't go well, ha ha. Thanks for the kind words, cheers!
I too live in the US but was born in PEI and also lived in Pictou Co., Nova Scotia where my MacLennan and Murray families arrived in 1801 from the Grampian Mts in the Highlands. MacLennan’s Mt Nova Scotia was given to my great grandfather’s father after being injured in the Queen’s Black Watch and remains there to this day…often confused with MacLellans Brook. The land is owned now by Scott Paper, but they sold back the original homestead to a cousin of mine who lives in the US. My grandmother took me back there in the 80s and the foundation remains. The home was dismantled by my grandmother’s father and moved to a nearby town. Played, visited and lived in that house. The MacLeods and MacKays (also cousins) lived in the houses on either side! Small world. The New Glascow Library in Nova Scotia has a group of genealogists who have tons of info on the family and I have portraits etc. There is a small church in Scotland that allowed the clans to sleep in their graveyard during the Clearances and a little girl etched her name (MacLennan) into the church glass window. All my relatives have gone back to visit Scotland, but I too have not made it yet!
MacDonald's and MacDougall's are both from the sons of Somhairlidh mhór mac Gillebride mhic Gilledomnán, otherwise known as Somerled. Two very in-depth books The Sea Kings, and The Kingdom of The Isles both by R. Andrew McDonald give the full history.
On my fathers side: I have my great, great grandmother’s passport. She was born on the island of WESTRAY. (SIMPSON / HARCUS) Her daughter was born in Glasgow. (HARCUS / KING). She married an ENGLISHMAN which, personally I find to be sort of peculiar. Anyway, I’m thankful that I was able to get a hold of the passport and some other of her belongings, after my great uncle passed.
Wow! I was interested in this video because my husband has a quarter of Irish blood and a quarter of Scottish and, haha, half Slavic (Czech Republic and Poland) . I am very proud of the history of his family and parents . Irish-Scottish roots go down the father's line. Many clan names are intertwined . McDonald , McNeil , McLaren , McCall , Drummond , Wilson , Clark , Robertson , Young , Bain , Kilgore . Are there any doubts about the Irish or Scottish names Nicole and Mitchell ? In addition, there seems to be great confidence in the relationship with Robert Fulton, the famous engineer-inventor of the first steamboat and submarine. My husband 's great - grandmother was Fulton .
All the Mc names you mentioned are Scottish McDonald, McLaren so there's Mc in Irish also Scottish . Almost all the surnames beginning with Mac like Macdonald, MacLaren are Scottish along the movement of immigration etc they became McLaren, McGregor, McArthur. Yes some Irish and Scottish surnames became intertwined also regarding the Mc so ye you're right. One thing that distinguishes the Scottish surname is son at the end like Wilson, Robertson, Hutchinson, Morrison, Anderson, Henderson, Ferguson,, Dickson, Paterson, Simpson, Stevenson, swanson, Matheson ... You get the jist lol. Mitchell is more of a Scottish and English surname and Nicol is also Scottish and English with Nicoll, Nichol an Nicholl unless its MacNicol then you know its purely Scottish lol. Hope that helps a wee bit ☺️. Oh and Fulton is Scottish outright...
Clan MacLean here. Can trace my history to Castle Duart, Isle of Mull. Our family name was spelled differently when the father of our patron Captain John McClain emigrated to the American Colonies in the 1700's.
Really loved this program I’m also proud of my Scottish ancestry and of my ancestors not just the royal house of Stuart my (17Xs great grandfather was James IV & Margaret Tudor) but to William Wallis and to Robert the Bruce all the way back to Malcom McAlpine I 1st king of Scots Also from a long line of weavers as well
I can't quit watching this,I've watched it several times, I love it. I only hear my name mentioned once, I'm a Duncan.tell me do you know much about the Duncan clan. This is the best video ever. I feel and always have felt a great connection with Scotland. I'm know I'm there, I just know it!
@Debbie D I'm also a Duncan. My grand mother. I also feel a strong connection with Scotland. When I see the land there that is bare and without trees I get upset. Darned English! Still it is beautiful!
@@Evanmonster1 Thanks I'll check it out also. I've noticed doing research on the Duncans that the name has changed several times over the centuries and it keeps getting longer lol
Was doing genealogy and found Duncan in the mix. I read that the name goes back the the original Duncan that died in battle around 925. You can probably Google around and get that story. I just search the names and dates that came up from my research and sometimes wound get big stories about the ancestors I found going back in Scotland, Ireland and England. I was blown away by the linage uncovered of Ferguson, Ross, Gordon, Campbells, Wallace. It seems, though there may be spurious connection our bloodline went to Kings of England, Scotland and France. Elenor of Aquitaine and all the Kings descended then way back to royals into 1200.
After studying the history of the Scotts Im saddened to see that a Scott has to watch his fellow Scotts closer than his enemy's. My family came from Glasgow. I wish we could get along better.
thank you for the so much,im american from clan elliott(elot) my great great grandparents was from aberdeen (my great great grandads name was frederick elliott i dont have my great great granmas name)when they came to america they lived in chester pennsylvannia
No problem! Glad you like the video and are interested in your family ancestry and roots. I had a lot of Scottish, Irish and also Welsh ancestors that moved to central Pennsylvania. A lot moved to Bucks County and Miflin County.
I've been through Campbell land. I remember back in 2012, I took a bus from Glasgow to Oban. We went through Inverrary and passed by Inverrary Castle. Stunnin' scenery! Highly recommend it!
I'm of the clan "Clay", of the Scottish highlands. My great grandfather is George ( Hori ) Clay. If anyone has any information on my forefathers please contact me. I also have Irish blood and am a " Wade" from around Kilkenny and have ties to the Fraser family
Superb. Thank you. We have Armstrong in our family names in the USA. I don’t think a strict record of the Armstrong line was kept when he came to America. I was interested to learn that the name was lost in Scottish history.
No problem. I've found two Armstrong lines, both on my dad's side of the family. One was from Mangerton. The other went back and forth from England and Carrickedmund, Ireland.
That's cool. I am also related to the MacLachlans and Morrisons. The Morrisons I'm related to left the Isle of Lewis and went to the mainland and settled down around Edinburgh.

First of all, I think the soundtrack to Game of Thrones would be perfect for this. It’s almost like it was created for the Scottish people. But you know I would love to have something like this made about my clan, clan MacCulloch. I know we were a smaller clan but we have some power and authority. We had some infamy. And we still have one of the best preserved tower house ruins in Scotland. Maybe one day we can get a chief again.
Recently looked at my family tree and it was nice to learn a bit about some of the clans that I descended from. But with the negativity that the video conveyed about the Stewart Clan, it makes me not too sure that I should be proud of that line of my blood. haha. My family has ties to Stewart, Macleod, Murray, Sinclar, Campbell, McGowan, Wilson
? We have the oldest standing castle in Scotland. We were also hired mercenaries in Ireland.The macsuibhne clan have a big influence in early irish and Scottish history.
My family got forced to leave during Highlander clearances. I know the boat name and place we're from. I am a McKeachnie from the Clan MacDonald Of Clan Ranald. Of Argyll and The Isle of Mull.
That's cool. I never found any Camerons in my family. I have found Campbells of Loudoun, Breadalbane, Lochawe. One of my favorite MacDonald branches I found are the MacDonalds of Dunnyveg and Antrim. I'd like to visit Nova Scotia one day and take the bridge across to Cape Breton. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting!
My great grandfather (McDonnell/macdonnell) married my great grandmother (Cameron) and from findings I have campbells as well on my great grandmother side not sure if it’s from same area but was in nova soctia
My clans are donnachaigh or Robertson,Boyle,Armstrong,Abernathy,Abercrombie,Wallace,Bruce that’s all I remember but I know there is a couple more we must of got about lol
Clan Bruce,Campbell,Douglas,Stewart and Wallace. My mothers maiden name is Wallace. My Wallace ancestors settled here in the mid 1700's. Ones not mentioned Bell,Sweeny, Thompson.
My dad's family is Irish, but has long ties to Glasgow. He is a MvAuley. There are four origins of the McAuleys. My family comes from the border between Cavan and Fermanagh. This barony was known as Clan Auley. This McAuley clan is actually a Maguire. They decend from Donn Carrach Maguire.

Though it does make you wonder why some of the most important clans with great historical impact are left out, such an Cumin... Especially when one mentions how Robert d Bruce stabbed the red Cumming, but then doesn't mention his name or clan ... After all, they were kings of Scotland and the arch rivals of the Bruce's...
@@sidschukowv6677 I am a Bruce.
My great grandfather, Peter Flynn was born on a ship crossing from Scotland to America in the 1800s
It's an Irish surname,goes back to a 2nd century king of Munster.(lots of Irish went working in Scotland)
I find it interesting how rarely Scottish emigration to Canada is mentioned. Nova Scotia, where some traditions still survive, surely merits an occasional nod. (No, I'm not from Nova Scotia, have never been, but hope that despite my age and the corona virus, I may yet see that hope fulfilled.)
Really? I've seen lots of videos and documentaries of Nova Scotia and the Scots that settled there. Mostly about "The Hector" ship that they sailed on from the highlands to Nova Scotia.
You would love Cape Breton in Nova Scotia!
@@gillyhuxbaugh I have been looking to go there for years, ha ha. If things lighten up with international travel, I will certainly go.
One place i would love to go is nova scotia, some of my relatives moved there, about 100 years ago.
My ancestors were the Logans. They came through Truro NS, through and Homesteaded in Manitoba.
Thanks for the upload.
_Any_ introductions into the Clans of Scotland are useful when all media is aligned along stories of 'progress'.
The fact that I am of Scottish blood (at least 8%) from both sides of my family, and on one side is a descendant of the Chisholm bloodline. I can be safe to say it's mere coincidence that led me to take a good look at anything Scottish clan related videos. This one is a great start to say the least. :)
R.i.P.. # respect two all two the young Scottish men that fought against our enemy 2023 still we have faith for this Saltaire one day
From NC---my grandmother spoke Scots-Gaelic. She was born in 1888---from Western NC.
I only learned this a few years before she passed at 104, when a woman in her apartment (from Scotland) was speaking what I thought was a "strange" language.
She never taught her son (my dad) or me!! It was explained there was still some secrecy or shame associated with using the Gaelic. 😞
Part of my family is also Scots from Eaatern NC--- as might be guessed from the name I use for posting. Amazing to me how the Scots culture is still present/underlying US history--no matter if some history was never known or taught.
Wow.......that is really cool! You know a lot of people think that Nova Scotia was the only place in N. America where Scots Gaelic is spoken. That isn't true. North Carolina is certainly a big hot bed for Scots. And the traditions are carried on down there too. 104 years old. That's amazing!
@@Evanmonster1
Grandfather Moutain in NC was a traditional place where the clans are remembered.
And they used to have a huge gathering of the clans every spring---I have not been in a while, and of course Covid now. Much love to our friends in Nova Scotia!!
@@morgainedepolloc4161 I'm from Kings Mountain NC originally. Growing up I remember my grandmother telling stories of much of her family speaking Gaelic when she was a child. Apparently even on the male Cobb side were many Scott's who came over after 1746.
@@Davidrcobb Thank you so much for sharing this. It means a lot to here from someone with similar background. They had to move to Newport News VA for work in the early 20th Century. I finally went back for a visit---it was extremely moving. They had/.have been in those hills since way before the US Revolutionary War.

There is a Henderson County here in North Carolina
henrison or henry gunn or eainruig the pict chief?
mine are the ancestors of the hendersonville nc family, henrisone descent.
my ???? ggm in scotland is a henderson
supposedly I descend from this, but no knowledge of who Henri or Henry was, unfortunatly
nor clear idea on medieval heraldry or knights, only possible ideas of henrisone heraldry before 1450s

Im glad to see my MacFarlane ancestors acknowledged. I’m a bit of a European mutt overall, but my Scottish heritage was always my favorite.
Lol! Perhaps if you knew the MacFarlane clan history and why they arent mentioned a lot, you would not be so proud. 🤣 Stick to being American. Just because your grandparents in 1800s ran from their responsibilities doesnt make you "scottish" .
I'm as well. Were cattle thieves and sold off our land for debt.
@@PostPatriot Haha. Forgot about this dumba$$ery. And just for the record, ignoring the random accusation about my grandparents, that’s exactly what it means. Or do you honestly not know how heritage works? It doesn’t matter if someone moves to another country. Their ethnic identity is unchanged. Everyone with a brain knows that.
McFarland is Scottish Irish right? My family left Scotland then tyrone Ireland to Maine and my great grandfather had a ranch in Montana a hardworking family man!!
Bloodline, however impressive, is not as decisive as spirit:
People you love to learn about and commit your life energies to: that is your clan...that is your people..
Sometimes we are surprised by how the THUNDERBOLT hits.
History can be, and often is, changed by one person's free decision, one person's commitment.
I loved Scotland when I traveled there. I am proud to be of the Clan McPherson
Mc is Irish and Mac is Scottish I have never heard of McPherson but have heard of a MacPherson.
I’m a Reid of the Clan Donnachaidh (Robertson). It’s always interesting learning about ones heritage and Scotland in general. I knew Robertson and Duncan were common with Clan Donnachaidh.
Coming from a small clan, Rayburn on my mother's side, and McGaha on my father's, Scotland is a place I long to see once. I know the Rayburn name is associated with Ayreshire, but that's about it.
The McGaha name was associated with Presbyterians who immigrated to Ulster, then to America.
President Donald Trump's mother was Mary Anne MacLeod, a Scot, born in the village of Tong, Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Her first language was Gaelic, and she also learned to speak English before she immigrated to New York at age 18. She often returned to Scotland to visit relatives. Through his mother, Donald Trump carries royal blood. His 20th times great-grandfather was England's King Edward III and Trump is also a direct descendant of Norway's King Haakon V. Trump is also related to royalty in Denmark and Iceland.
It figures someone has to insert that fool's name into this grand history. Will we ever escape this Hideous creature....?
I'm named after my paternal grandmother Jess McGregor whom I never got to meet🥺 Thanks so much for a very professional and quality peek into the clans of my Grandma's beautiful homeland🏴🇭🇲
No problem. Funny, I just bought a MacGregor modern tartan throw rug/blanket for my bed, ha ha. Recently found MacGregors in my family, too. One of the best clans ever! Cheers and thanks for watching!
In the Lanarkshire, Monkland area just East of the River Clyde there are also the Scot family, with their own castle and there is the Adam Clan on the South East border land near the wall. They had a castle also. There are Easton’s , Grant’s and Henderson’s all from that area who are intermarried now and emigrated from Scotland ending up in San Bernardino, Ca. and Australia by way of New Zealand. Also Fletcher’s and many more all part of the Mac Donald Clan Rannoc.
This is a great documentary, thanks!

A great video, & it's good to see the Chisholm's got a mention.
Bell clan moved into Scotland early 11 century, raiders on the boarder near Dumfries.
Tribes once ruled the planet AND LEARNED TO LIVE AMONGST EACH OTHER WAY BETTER THAN US
lol! Yes, one would hope that to be the case, but in all our family's history in Scotland (from Somerled through the Stewarts and the majority of the clans named here) there was constant feuding, countless skirmishes, and frequent warring for many, many centuries, often using daughters as marriage fodder to patch up grievances and to build or renew alliances. All led by the aristocrats. Plus ca change, plus ca la meme chose.
Great learning history about Scotland s history and family clans. 😀😃
We are The Pics from the America’s! We were sent to the America’s to establish our Beach Head in North Carolina 1638 AD
MWM
In 1166 when it was found that many scotts had a wheat alergy the MacDougles developed flour bombs and where the first to develop chemical weapons.
Gosh,I didn't know that! I can't tolerate wheat - so it's in ma genes,eh? We were brought up on lots of oats, a very versatile crop, still a staple in my diet today.
Coincidentally or not, McDougalls has been a major flour producer in the UK for 150yrs+. Flour bombs! Scots have always been very inventive!
Haven't seen the whole thing yet so I'm commenting early, but I wonder if my clan will be mentioned. Small clan from Galloway/Dumphries. We are said to be descended from Somerled's youngest son. One of the more notorious members of my clan was known as Cut or Cutler MacCulloch. Our clan pretty much fizzled out and disappeared at the end of the 1600s when our last true clan chief was executed in 1697. Control of the clan went elsewhere after that and just kind of disappeared. Our last recognize Clan Chief 's family moved here to the US and all the lands we held and our ancestral estate ended up in the hands of others. Cardenas castle is now in ruins.
I am a little saddened that the Septs of the large Clans were not named, so that those families could know which larger clan they belong to. Our Clan, was in Glencoe, and when the MacDonalds arrived it was decided between the Chiefs that the clans would intermarry rather than fighting over the land. We’re we’re of the
Clan Mac Eanurig(Henry & Hendry & Henderson). There were many other names associated with the MacDonalds too.
We are proud decedents of the Chisholm Clan here in Australia! 😎🇦🇺👍 Feros Ferio🙏
What happened to the clan system when Norman French culture arrived in Scotland(After Matilda and Stevens civil war called the Anarchy)?. De Bruc was Norman French as well as most of the aristocracy of Scotland as well, Finding this out made me look at Scottish history in a different way. The Auld alliance between Scotland and France made more sense when you consider that most of Scotland's leadership was Norman French and didn't speak the native language
The current clan system is medieval - plenty of Norsemen involved (e.g. MacDonald) - yet the connection between _Brittons_ and _Bretons_ and the *Celtic clan system e.g. in Ireland* is older than William the Conqueror.
A comparison with Wales would be interesting as it maintained it's ways from Saxon and Viking (Danish) influence until the arrival of the 'Normans'.
Cool video thanks, I live in America but I am a a descendant of clan maclennan which is my grandmothers last name and my great grandmother was a Mackay still haven’t made. To Scotland I am 29 and hope to make it to the McLennan or Mackay clan gathering one of these years my sister went to the Maclennan gathering a couple years ago I was very envious of her for that. But I am super proud of my ancestors and am fascinated with learning more! Cheers!
Thanks, I'm also American, ha ha. And I also have MacKay ancestry as well. In fact, I'll be setting up my MacKay tent at the highland games next month. I was supposed to go to Sutherland for all things MacKay related, but I booked my flight for late March of last year......didn't go well, ha ha. Thanks for the kind words, cheers!
I too live in the US but was born in PEI and also lived in Pictou Co., Nova Scotia where my MacLennan and Murray families arrived in 1801 from the Grampian Mts in the Highlands. MacLennan’s Mt Nova Scotia was given to my great grandfather’s father after being injured in the Queen’s Black Watch and remains there to this day…often confused with MacLellans Brook. The land is owned now by Scott Paper, but they sold back the original homestead to a cousin of mine who lives in the US. My grandmother took me back there in the 80s and the foundation remains. The home was dismantled by my grandmother’s father and moved to a nearby town. Played, visited and lived in that house. The MacLeods and MacKays (also cousins) lived in the houses on either side! Small world. The New Glascow Library in Nova Scotia has a group of genealogists who have tons of info on the family and I have portraits etc. There is a small church in Scotland that allowed the clans to sleep in their graveyard during the Clearances and a little girl etched her name (MacLennan) into the church glass window. All my relatives have gone back to visit Scotland, but I too have not made it yet!
I'm also a McKay. My granddad dropped the a, on my mum's side. My granddad was Patrick McKay. His father was Normon McKay
MacDonald's and MacDougall's are both from the sons of Somhairlidh mhór mac Gillebride mhic Gilledomnán, otherwise known as Somerled. Two very in-depth books The Sea Kings, and The Kingdom of The Isles both by R. Andrew McDonald give the full history.
On my fathers side: I have my great, great grandmother’s passport. She was born on the island of WESTRAY. (SIMPSON / HARCUS) Her daughter was born in Glasgow. (HARCUS / KING). She married an ENGLISHMAN which, personally I find to be sort of peculiar. Anyway, I’m thankful that I was able to get a hold of the passport and some other of her belongings, after my great uncle passed.
I am a descendant from Clan McKenzie from my maternal side of the family. Love that I'm Scottish!!
Alas, hoping to hear Ratekin included. No luck. Well spent hour! Stay Healthy 😎
Grandmother MacKinnon. Great Grandmother Gillis. From Frenchvale, NS via Barra Scotland generations back
My grandmother was a MacKinnon too. The clan was from the Isle of Skye. My other grandmother also had Scottish origins.
God Bless Scotland
Clan Ross...”Spem Successes Alit”: Success Nourishes Hope

I am Anderson, out of clan Ross!
Wow! I was interested in this video because my husband has a quarter of Irish blood and a quarter of Scottish and, haha, half Slavic (Czech Republic and Poland) . I am very proud of the history of his family and parents . Irish-Scottish roots go down the father's line. Many clan names are intertwined . McDonald , McNeil , McLaren , McCall , Drummond , Wilson , Clark , Robertson , Young , Bain , Kilgore . Are there any doubts about the Irish or Scottish names Nicole and Mitchell ? In addition, there seems to be great confidence in the relationship with Robert Fulton, the famous engineer-inventor of the first steamboat and submarine. My husband 's great - grandmother was Fulton .
Mc is Irish, Mac is Scot. Just sayin
All the Mc names you mentioned are Scottish McDonald, McLaren so there's Mc in Irish also Scottish . Almost all the surnames beginning with Mac like Macdonald, MacLaren are Scottish along the movement of immigration etc they became McLaren, McGregor, McArthur. Yes some Irish and Scottish surnames became intertwined also regarding the Mc so ye you're right. One thing that distinguishes the Scottish surname is son at the end like Wilson, Robertson, Hutchinson, Morrison, Anderson, Henderson, Ferguson,, Dickson, Paterson, Simpson, Stevenson, swanson, Matheson ... You get the jist lol. Mitchell is more of a Scottish and English surname and Nicol is also Scottish and English with Nicoll, Nichol an Nicholl unless its MacNicol then you know its purely Scottish lol. Hope that helps a wee bit ☺️. Oh and Fulton is Scottish outright...
My cousins are Fulton’s also.😊
Clan MacLean here. Can trace my history to Castle Duart, Isle of Mull. Our family name was spelled differently when the father of our patron Captain John McClain emigrated to the American Colonies in the 1700's.
Happy to here from you
Really loved this program I’m also proud of my Scottish ancestry and of my ancestors not just the royal house of Stuart my (17Xs great grandfather was James IV & Margaret Tudor) but to William Wallis and to Robert the Bruce all the way back to Malcom McAlpine I 1st king of Scots
Also from a long line of weavers as well
Couple of corrections here.
William Wallace.
Kenneth MacAlpine, not Malcolm.
Thank you for your kind correction my bad not sure why I said Malcom guess I had a scooby moment LOL once again thank you
@@fabricboi so jealous I hope I can trace my tree back as far but here’s hoping.
So much Scottish dna in America. I'm mostly Scottish with specks of Irish,Welsh, English. Both sides of my family are in Appalachians
I can't quit watching this,I've watched it several times, I love it. I only hear my name mentioned once, I'm a Duncan.tell me do you know much about the Duncan clan.
This is the best video ever.
I feel and always have felt a great connection with Scotland. I'm know I'm there, I just know it!
Thank you! Also, there is a Clan Donnachaid or Clan Duncan video on my channel that I uploaded not long ago. I think you'd like it!
@Debbie D I'm also a Duncan. My grand mother. I also feel a strong connection with Scotland. When I see the land there that is bare and without trees I get upset. Darned English! Still it is beautiful!
@@Evanmonster1 Thanks I'll check it out also. I've noticed doing research on the Duncans that the name has changed several times over the centuries and it keeps getting longer lol
Was doing genealogy and found Duncan in the mix. I read that the name goes back the the original Duncan that died in battle around 925. You can probably Google
around and get that story. I just search the names and dates that came up from my research and sometimes wound get big stories about the ancestors I found going back in Scotland, Ireland and England. I was blown away by the linage uncovered of Ferguson, Ross, Gordon, Campbells, Wallace. It seems, though there may be spurious connection our bloodline went to Kings of England, Scotland and France. Elenor of Aquitaine and all the Kings descended then way back to royals into 1200.
I would give anything to visit your beautiful land,watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿
After studying the history of the Scotts Im saddened to see that a Scott has to watch his fellow Scotts closer than his enemy's.

First of all, I think the soundtrack to Game of Thrones would be perfect for this. It’s almost like it was created for the Scottish people. But you know I would love to have something like this made about my clan, clan MacCulloch. I know we were a smaller clan but we have some power and authority. We had some infamy. And we still have one of the best preserved tower house ruins in Scotland. Maybe one day we can get a chief again.
My clan wasn't talked about either. They still are in Scotland, the Grahams.
I’m a highland Sutherland and proud of it
My family history is in Scotland 🏴. Our name is Dalzell now, but originally spelled Dalziel
Recently looked at my family tree and it was nice to learn a bit about some of the clans that I descended from. But with the negativity that the video conveyed about the Stewart Clan, it makes me not too sure that I should be proud of that line of my blood. haha. My family has ties to Stewart, Macleod, Murray, Sinclar, Campbell, McGowan, Wilson
I have Sinclar as well!
Weren't the Stewart's and Campbell Clans enemies. In America we had Clan wars in the Appalachian.
