The Clans

The Scottish Clans (families) are the backbone of today’s Scottish Games. Many, many Americans have Scottish ancestry — check among the clan tents to perhaps find that your great-great-great grandmother was Scottish after all! The largest of the Scottish Clans is Clan Donald; go by the Clan Donald tent to see if your name is among those listed; if you see a family name, ask Clan Donald US genealogist Jim McDonald, who will be at the genealogy tent or at Clan Donald, if you belong to Clan Donald.
