    "Clan Mackintosh of North America" lists Glen and Glennie as surnames associated with Clan Mackintosh. If that's enough of a connection for you, then I'm sure they'd be willing to have you as a member.

    Here's a quick surname map for Glenn in Great Britain based on the 1881 Census. It shows the greatest concentration of the name in England:http://gbnames.publicprofiler.org/Ma...y=GB&type=name

    If you're interested in pursuing a more definite connection to Scotland, or the Highlands specifically, it will mean steady, deliberate genealogical work to determine exactly where your ancestors came from.

    Best of Luck,
