Can I trace a "Scottish Clan" relationship? Yes. McDonald septs to Clanranald and Keppoch.
Do I pay the someone so I can claim membership in a group, who in return, grant me a newsletter, and notice of a few dinners? No.

HOWEVER...Do I belong to a clan in the sense of a group of friends/family who I know I can rely on in a crisis, and in return they can rely on me in a crisis?

Yes. Clan Kizzier and The "Auld Blue Clan" (police officers). And by extention, my cousins - The "Auld Red Clan" (Firefighters).

Otherwise, Steve said it best:
