Scottish Clans (2001) DVD 

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 feel so sorry for people not blessed to be born Scottish!

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.

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. So They are also my people too (how we as native American see it as honoring our elders also, it is a native thing) so I am glad to watch your show on this subject. 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...

l really enjoyed that, great narration too. thanks for doing it and all the very best. william, a scot in ireland.

I am so very proud to be from the Murrays and MacLennans in the Grampian Mts who resettled in Pictou Co. Nova Scotia around 1801 prior to the Clearings! The foundation remains on MacLennans Mt. Nova Scotia, the farmstead still where it was moved to Stellarton,and Murray farms near by!!!

I visited the culloden battle field,really is an electric feeling walking around it,you can still feel the energy there from that day! Brave men to a man!

Im from Clan Gunn from the highlands. My scottish family name is Manson from son of Magnus. My great great granparents immigrated to New Zealand to Canterbury in the South Island. My granmother was a Manson. Im still learning about my scottish history. I know mostly about my English side.

An Englishman by birth, a Scotsman by heritage!!! Thanks for uploading this!! 👍🇬🇧

For those asking "Why isn't xxxx clan mentioned." It literally explains in the first 4 minutes why. Its a brief selection of clans.

My great grandfather, Peter Flynn was born on a ship crossing from Scotland to America in the 1800s

Thanks for the upload. _Any_ introductions into the Clans of Scotland are useful when all media is aligned along stories of 'progress'.

And an Armstrong, from Texas, was the first to walk on the Moon! Well done! Thanks for posting.

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

I’m a Buchanan on my father’s side from the mountains of North Carolina & I’ve only been able to go back to my 3x great-grandfather.....but I’m not giving up. Great info & thanks for sharing - Maureen PS Interesting to note we lived in a place called Annandale Va growing up as kids.

‘Jamais Arriere,’ Clan Douglas here, and proud I am of the lineages throughout from both sides of my family. There’s far too many clans and history to get into in a mere hour, but I thank you kindly for the upload of these here, friend. Look forward to more, too. Again, thank you so very much!

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. :)

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.)

What a history and I treasure the Scott’s sense of humor.

I loved Scotland when I traveled there. I am proud to be of the Clan McPherson

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.

I am a Henderson and I looked it up . I'm interested about Scotland history helping me to understand it more . Thank you for this :-)

This is a great documentary, thanks!

A great video, & it's good to see the Chisholm's got a mention.

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.

Excellent documentary thank you I enjoyed😊

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.

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.

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

Bell clan moved into Scotland early 11 century, raiders on the boarder near Dumfries.

God Bless Scotland

Great learning history about Scotland s history and family clans. 😀😃

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.

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.

Alas, hoping to hear Ratekin included. No luck. Well spent hour! Stay Healthy 😎

Happy this is still around

Tribes once ruled the planet AND LEARNED TO LIVE AMONGST EACH OTHER WAY BETTER THAN US

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🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇭🇲

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.

I am a combination of two clans, so this was interesting as. Thank you

Thankyou for sharing.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 .

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!

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.

Can you do an I depth on Sutherland? And the lowlands? My children don’t know much about it and how the name made it this far.

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.

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

Oh I was looking for the movie Scottish Clams. I will let myself out.

We are proud decedents of the Chisholm Clan here in Australia! 😎🇦🇺👍 Feros Ferio🙏

What can you tell me about mckamie/ mccamey clans? My grandma Mary Blanche (loudy) jones grandmother was a mckamie/mckamey from northeast Tennessee in mid 1800's. They lived near bluff city,tn and blountville,rn areas.

What happened to the mcgregor?I am decended from Gregor Stuart and cambell that I know of

I’m a highland Sutherland and proud of it

Good to see my Clan Donnachaidh (Robertson) given mention here.

Tell me where I can obtain a copy of this DVD. My ancestors were not mentioned in this but I know who they are and who they are related to, so it doesn't bother me . Bruce Howard

I would give anything to visit your beautiful land,watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿

I am a descendant from Clan McKenzie from my maternal side of the family. Love that I'm Scottish!!

American member of Clan Cameron here ! So proud of my highland roots!

Clan Ross...”Spem Successes Alit”: Success Nourishes Hope

Thank You

Grandmother MacKinnon. Great Grandmother Gillis. From Frenchvale, NS via Barra Scotland generations back

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.

I also am from clan ross. Most of the family settled around Pennsylvania and relocated into the Corning, New York area.

52:35 - Can someone tell me more? I am Clason, descended from McClay, descended from Clan Stewart of Appin. Where can I go on the 'Net for more information?

? 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 husband's family relate back to Cameron's from Fort Worth. We have no idea what the connection between the Clarksons and the Cameron's is. Where would I be best to begin looking?

Brill, thanks.

Aren't there more clans? Some which I didn't hear mentioned?

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

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.

So much Scottish dna in America. I'm mostly Scottish with specks of Irish,Welsh, English. Both sides of my family are in Appalachians

My grand mother was born in Stirling Bridge. We are Kennedys originally from the Isle of Tyree

My clan wasn't talked about either. They still are in Scotland, the Grahams.

Was Henderson in this?

ENJOYABLE!!👍👍

I love how he says 'to this day' Lol.

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

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.

No Frasers 😥 Great wee video , very informative .. thank you

I'm a Bruce, it's great to listen to this and learn ^^

I am a Davidson have been trying to learn all I can about my Scottish and Gaelic heritage

He was my many times great grandsire.

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

My family history is in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Our name is Dalzell now, but originally spelled Dalziel

Proud descendent of the Ross Clan.

MacLachlan, Morrison, Gordon and many others in my line, going long way back.

Awesome documentary! Shame on the tubes closed captioning. There are other ways to spell clan than with a K

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

My father Charles William Campbell. I have always wanted to go to Scotland and learn about my Campbell clan.

Respect

The battle of Culloden was in 1746. Was does he keep saying it was in ‘45???

My grandmother was from the clan Bruce. But 1/2 of is decended from Sarmatian knights and the Amazon women.

Clan Campbell one of the most powerful and feared clans in all Scotland and gaelic lands

Please do a second video, include the Sutherland clan

Is there any history of the Donnelly Clan in Scotland?
