How many actual Scottish clans are there, not Sept's just clans ?

Answer 1

Don't know but if you find out where they are let me know. Gotta love an Irish guy.

Seroiusly, you need to look at some websites to find this answer.

rampantscotland.com or something.

The whole issue of "clans" is surrounded in the usual tartan ballyhoo and I'd be surprised if you ever get a definitive answer.

Answer 3

There are 262 officially recognised Clans including several McDonald Clans.
