Hi to all my McDougall family, I was born McDougall, and love looking into family history . . . . amazing to think we are all related, and descendants of King Somerled
Any McDougall visitors to Scotland go to Dunollie castle - fantastic. Then go to Oban, and just outside, there is a great ruined McDougall castle that is very moving and worth climbing up to.Very powerful atmosphere.
So good to meet other kinsfolk of the Clan McDougall. I am from Sparta Ga. USA . I am kin to the MacDougalls on my Mom's side. My Grand mother was a McDougall from Chattanooga Tn. I am honored to be related to the McDougall clan. Our clan has a history. Shalom
Proud to be a MacDougall ..... I'm a 2nd generation of scottish heritage born in Wankie , raised in Bulawayo , Matabeleland North , Rhodesia. (Zimbabwe) ............ My great grandfather , Douglas Ewan Mac Dougall left his beloved Paisley , Renfrewshire , Scotland way back in 1901 aged just 9yrs old to the heat , sunshine of the new nation of Southern Rhodesia ............................My mum side is Faulkner from Dundee ....

i am pascal bredius, born in holland. my ancestors from scotland came to holland back in 1600 and 1700 and i just found out i also descent from clan macdougall! thanks for the video!!
I am Lee MacDougall of Grimsby, England. My 7th Great Grandfather Charles McDougal of Westwater was born in 1760 and married to Jean Mealmaker at Murroes church, Dundee in 1783. They had a son, William McDougal, born in Murroes in 1777... and so on... The family remained in Dundee until William McDougal (1862-1923) moved to Grimsby as a fishing apprentice around 1880. If anyone has any further info on the history of Charles, and where in fact Westwater is, I'd love to hear more!
I am a Macdougall and proud to be one, Buaidh No Bas! Victory or Death! When someone that is Scottish I'm my family and they are having a wedding, we all wear our cilts/ flowers that have the MacDougall plad
Same here Buaidh no bas also means conquer or death just to let u know and also we are the sons and daughters of Dougall who was the son of the king of norway and the Clan Macdouagall where named the kings of the south
Fiery Gaming Somerled was not king of Norway, he was a warlord who essentially took over half of Scotland, after he died much of the land was lost and all that remained was Argyll, which Dougall inherited.
my grandfather Douglas McDougall moved to England after the second world war from Dundee and married my grandmother Florence Cornes. he and his brothers Charlie and Alec married triplets Florence Mary and Betty they where all well known and loved by most if not all....
Hello to all (fàilte) My family moved from Øban to the Kingdom of Fife in 1864.. A nice wee video indeed, although I'd only make the 1 correction from the end, the MacDougalls lost their land and status in the 14th century (1308 AD) not the 12th as you stated, but after the battle at the Pass of Brander.. Clan chief John Gallda MacDougall received favour with king David the 2nd and received much of the land back.. and the title of Lord of the Isles..
Hi my name is Shaun MacDougall . My great grandfather moved to Cape Breton from Scotland many years ago his name was Dan Rory MacDougall . I'm proud of my Scottish roots and would someday like to travel to Scotland .
I am a Macdougall but my family moved away from Scotland a very long time ago not in my generation but my family was in side the walls of the castle. I LOVE SCOTLAND
I’m part of this clan my great great grandparents immigrated to Canada when they had my great grandma. I have whole bunch of pictures of the castle it’s pretty cool.
I am a MacDougall. My ancestors left Argyll for Barra in the Hebrides, likely around the time of the Culloden massacre or after. Two brothers left Barra and arrived in Nova Scotia Canada in 1802, eventually settling in Cape Breton on the Bras d'Or lake. One of the brothers, John, is my 3x or 2xgreat grandfather. His son, or possibly grandson, Neil MacDougall, was born 1850 at Christmas Island on the Bras d'Or Lake in Cape Breton. Good to be amongst relations in these comments as I'm the last of our line in Canada. Gale MacDougall Brown
Interesting! My father was John MacDougall born in Boston but we have older connections to Nova Scotia. Unfortunately I don't know a lot about this side of my family, aside from what I've read or seen on the Internet. So who knows, we could be related!
Hello Phillip, with your MacDougall lineage, have you thought about doing a DNA test to support a current study of the MacDougall Clan being performed by Alasdair MacDonald, a professor at the University of Strathclyde?
The story I have heard, and this comes from my mother’s side. Is that we were of the MacDougall clan, a little confused how we then became Stevenson. I have done so much research over the years and information changes so much. Through my research I learned that some of the clan broke off and changed their names to Stevenson , then some how we ended up in Russia, then returned to Scotland. I have also heard that the Macdougal clan shared some responsibility to the demise of Mary Queen of Scots, a descendant of my ex husband. If the story is true, that our clan had something against Robert the Bruce, I wonder if during this situation is why we broke off and renamed Stevenson. I have also heard that we are direct cousins to Robert Louis Stevenson. Which would make a lot of sense due to our families abilities to be good writers. However in 2021 we lost the last Stevenson in the family and could not get a dna swab from her before her death. My mothers DNA swab shows that she is more Finnish than she is Scottish, more than our Great Grandmother was German, but then I also have found Hebrew in our line as well and Native American. My fathers side is from Kent and before that Ireland, we are related to catholic royalty from England or so I have heard….during the Spanish Ramada. I think I can say that our blood is quite muddled, and I have given up, lost all hope. And cannot muster up enough money to have my dna swab done. With all the different lines in peoples dna , just goes along with the newest belief, that science is proving that through consciousness we are all family. My fathers mother In world war 2 times threw away any traces of family lineage, which she did not have much of her own because she was an orphan. We only have a family tree from his and his fathers side dated all the way back to Mayflower days, and we do know that dad’s family were some of the original Mayflower passengers and have family that fought in the revolutionary war. In the end I laugh at my fiancée, when he says, you are just a snipity as a Scottish red head, not taking no crap off of anyone. It is strange that I feel a strong connection with the Japanese though. Wonder if that has any credence in where some of my ancestors come from?
MacDougall's & MacDonald'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.
Outrageous ancestry awesome, if ever there was such an historical link to the freeworld from Norway, Scotland, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, America, France, New Zealand, Russia even. Go the Mac Dougall a.
Thank you for this, my name is McDougle, and my grandfather used to give me the history of MacDougall all the time when I was a kid, it's nice to see this on here. I don't know why my string of ancestors changed it to McDougle and not MacDougall..any thoughts?

Hi. My name is Joshua Mcdougal.. My family dropped the a and l from the name when they moved to the USA... I'm very proud of my heritage and one day I hope to visit our home land in the near future..
Josh McDougal do you or your parents know of a merry McDougall that married into Hughes family she had two sons Ross and Luther?she came to USA in the 50's
@@jackmcnally9237 I get the point but it’s always been determined by the male progenitor/origin of the name. Otherwise, there would be no end of lines one could follow for their claim.
Yes, I was born a MacDougall and can trace my Canadian ancestry back to 1770 when the Annabella set sail from Campbeltown, Scotland and sank off the east coast of Canada. All aboard survived.
Watching your input-loved it-my husband and son play the pipes i am a mcdougall but dont know where i came from in Scotland.So sad as it wasnt my choice that my grandfather came to NZ-he blew it anyway.Drink and lies.I Had no grandad-Thanks for my words-Raewyn Timaru newzealand-please reply
I descend from his nephew Donald. I know more about Somerled and his family than anyone alive. I am over 80 years of age and have devoted my life to the study of my ancestors, but please don't write to me and ask me to give you the genealogy of Clan Dougal. I can tell you a little about him and his parents. His father was actually a king and so was Dougal. If you write to me you had better send your E-mail too or I wont answer you. Bruce Howard, MG
Excuse me I have a question my surname is just dougall without the mac attached I'm wondering if I am related to this clan? I live across the sea in Ireland?

Yes, but what do all the symbols mean? I've been trying to get a clear picture via google search but I'm still confused. I am 3rd generation scottish. My Grandpa's mom, Jean Cross lived in Kilsyth, Lanarkshire.Supporters of William Wallace. I've had the crest tattooed on my left arm with the scottish flower surrounding. to conquer or die
I'm not sure, she had a sister named Fanny that she gave the baby to (my Grandpa) and for my whole life I called Fanny My Nan, but later found out Pearly was my Grandfathers real Mother, Yes she had more than one child but I'm not sure how many, Fanny was Married to Albert James Whitlam Great Grandad
Correct, Somerled and his sons paternal lineage contains Nordic DNA SNPs. It has been identified by the Clan Donald DNA study that the name "Somerled" is the English version of the Gaelic version of a Norse word meaning "Viking" (Summer Wonderer).
