Scottish equivalent of "Smith"

[Phil]

So it's not about names. It's not just about family. It's about where you lived, who you sworn allegiance to, who you agreed to help, work for, or serve.

As the Wizard says it's not about names. The clan system, when it existed, was organised a bit like the Mafia to giva a modern-day analogy. The Chief was the godfather and he controlled the lands in his territory. Under him were a number of close relatives who would have managed the day-to-day "protection rackets" i.e. collecting rents from a variety of people who rented a bit of land from him and , in return, they ensured that none of the neighbouring clansmen from other clans murdered, raped or pillaged on the Chief's lands. If there was an attack they would raise the clansmen into an army by lighting fiery crosses across the lands which acted as a signal to the clansmen to gather. None, or very few, of these tenants would have been related to, or have the same name as the Chief and his family but they would have been clan members nevertheless.
