Please Note:

• "Mac" and "Mc" is simply Gaelic for "Son of". It in NO WAY represents if a family is from Scotland, Ireland, is Protestant, or if they are Catholic.
• Spelling variations differed widely for a number of reasons (personal choice, bad spelling, or to differentiate a family branch). A good example of this is William Shakespeare, who spelled his own name with over ten variations!
• Any member, including ALL the different Septs of the Clan Maclaine of Lochbuie are entitled to wear any of the Maclaine tartans.
• The following descriptions are compiled from numerous sources and are by no means complete. If you have any comments or information that you would like to contribute, please e-mail it to [email protected] or any of our other Contact Names.
