Found this while trawling the web. Wonder if anyone can confirm its accuracy, or even just the idea:

Clan Map

I've seen other maps like this. I can't say much for their accuracy, other than the MacLachlans are right about where I've seen them on the others.

There are many versions of this type of map, but remember it is more of a "general" guide and does not take into consideration that people tend to move due to many factors, and that the whole concept of a clan is very "fluid" in general.

Cheers,

Here is another one. http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/clanmap.jpg

To add to what Todd pointed out, the validity of such a map may have been quite accurate at the time it was created, but that would be a simple snap-shot of time.

At one point, the Lamonts controlled nearly all of the Cowal peninsula and today there are no Lamont holdings left in all of Scotland. So is the map accurate? Not by today's standards, it is not.

Both maps show the Macdonalds on the Trotternish Peninsula of Skye which is where my family came from...up in Staffin, Uig before that.
