Late-Medieval Aristocratic Landownership in Shetland and the "The lords of Norroway"

[Thomas H]

lot of the Clans on west coast are from Scandanavian descent (MacDonalds,MacLeods,Camerons etc)

That makes me wonder if I might have some link to those clans , on my fathers side I am
from Stavnger Norway , and left there in 1825 to come to America , our name before that was Hawkous and America changed it to Hougas . anyone know ?
