I am Scottish, from North Lanarkshire, Scotland and when I think of Scotland I think of Tartan, Bagpipes, Shortbread, Tablet, Whiskey, the Clans 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂. Honestly, when you grow up in Scotland you eat a lot of Shortbread, your dad drinks Johnny walker, everyone has Tartan in their house even if it's just a blanket over the couch, people aren't lying when they think of those things 🤣😂🤣😂. It doesn't help with the whole Clan stereotype when people in Scotland tend to refer to you by your last name and think you are related to everyone with that last name, for me it's always "Oi! Reid! Do you know a Robert Reid!" I am like "Yeah, I met a atleast 5 x Roberts Reid's when I went shopping last Tuesday" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣. (In case you don't get it 'Robert' and 'Reid' are extremely common names in Scotland). I think stereotypes are there for a reason.

My clan has a few dress colors. Ross clan. They even have a white one modern one that looks like a fancy dress. I've found about 6 different styles. For different occasions. The one I am used to is red. With some greens through it. But when I look at it. It looks like something that would be expensive.
My family are septs of the great MacNeils of Barra clan who were notorious pirate's back in the day. I read somewhere either a book or online that even after there notorious pirate day's that it was a custom for a clan member or clan Chief to steal from other clans or people.
All MacDougall's, MacDonald's should read these: The Sea Kings, and The Kingdom of The Isles both by R. Andrew McDonald.2 great books on our progenitor Somhairlidh mhór mac Gillebride mhic Gilledomnán (Somerled) who reclaimed the whole of Argyll and the islands from Viking tyranny.
Careful you might end up paying yourself to somewhere like Jamaica as most of the plantation and Slave owners were Scottish. Hence Campbell being the most common name there as slaves took there masters name. Scotland was a massive part of the British empire and was really into slavery and plantations
I'm doing some heritage research and have a question. My ancestors bear the name of Campbell but were born in Sutherland and Caithness areas. This dates back to about 1700. With the shift from the clan system is it safe to assume that before this time (1700) they would've lived in the Argyll region?
Thank you for your question. As far as I am aware, it seems very likely that they may have lived in the Argyll region, as this is thought to be where the Campbell clan started first; NB: the name Campell hadn't been yet established by then, only shortly thereafter, by means of marriage, as far as I know. Also, around the same time, Perthshire was seen as an additional region of where the Campbell Clan started to establish themselves, besides Argyll.
@@curiousaustriantours6962 Thank you! Upon doing further research I discovered that somewhere along the lines my ancestors had the name of MacIvor/MacIver and gained the alias Campbell sometime before 1700. Finding this information out has made it easier to understand some of the records as some ancestors had both MacIvor and Campbell as their recorded names.
@@curiousaustriantours6962I’m a Campbell and part of the Campbell DNA project, my line comes from the Chief line and the clan was well established before the 1700s and Inherited Argyll through a marriage and this is how they became the powerful clan.

It is simply not true that there was ever a clan ' system' in Scotland, any more than there was, or is, a 'mafia' system. Indeed, a more accurate translation of the word clan is 'family'. The word mafia, I understand, means much the same in Italian. The reason the clans came to prominence was that the feudal system was never accepted in Scotland. Scotland never had a king in the English sense because nobody ever conquered Scotland, as William the Conqueror did in England, so very few people held their land courtesy of the king. Indeed, the king was never referred to as King of Scotland, but as King of the Scots, which has rather different connotations. To understand the clans it is best to view them as mafiosi gangs who were actually in ascendancy over central law and government in their own local area, under the charge of a hereditary gang chief usually.. . but not always, because, just like in the mafia, internecine warfare, treachery and usurpation was common. This was true of the King as well, insofar as very large numbers of Scottish kings were poisoned, had a knife slipped under their ribs, etc.etc, in much the same way as the Capo di Capi in the mafia seems to get it. Whatever form of governance that is, it cannot be described as a system of any sort. It is merely a country where the supremacy of gangsterism has been established... and I speak as a Scot.
So my ancestor likely adopted my clan head's name? I'm told my clan leader is in Canada at least from what I looked up online if that is truly the leader.
And both the Campbells and the McDonalds emigrated to America, where their feud continues to this day as a battle between fast food and soup...
🙂
😂😂
Like my partner n me 😂 I'm MacDonald he's Campbell Karma ;). Joke ❤
Ha ha. Well said.
McDonald is Irish and Macdonald is Scottish
Thank you, Mr German-Austrian, for telling me about my own Scottish heritage.

To be honest the Glen coe event there were few Campbells actually at the event.

Mine is Dunbar. I had an ancestor who lives in Ceylon. I am actually a person from Borneo. Btw has Dunbar got any Viking influence?
I really want to know whether there's connection to the vikings or not.
Excellent video, all the best
Many thanks!
Where do the Breingans come from ?
Why do I have the term "Laird" in my awareness, when the term for clan leader seems to be "Chief?" I did hear "laird" in passing on another post.
A good history lesson but I’d be interested in the clan names of the Hebbrides. Okay

Gotta say, the voice quality *sucks* to the point that it keeps me from watching even half of the video. It's just that off putting/annoying.
I appreciate your opinion. - It's just like Marmite ...
Only clan members can wear clan tartans.
Not so much explanation of the clan system as telling all so well-known stories of Glen Coe and Culloden, and all about tartans. Disappointed.
Appreciate your opinion.
It’s no pronounced ‘gay-lic’ that’s Irish. Scottish is pronounced ‘ga-lic’. Just so ye know mate😂
