Clan Names

[Sketraw]

Yes. For example, the first recorded instance of the patronymic (last name) 'Scot' - later 'Scott' to differentiate the family from the country - is from about 1107. When the clan was recognized as a clan is less clear. In the Borders, there's not as tight a relationship to clans as there is/was in the Highlands.

Probably became a Clan in the 1950's up till then it was probably known as a 'border family'.
