    Yes, possibly, if they are from the area around Oban.

    Please be very careful about the so called "Sept Lists". Many are totally bogus. Very few are compiled by the Clan Chief and each Chief may decide for their own what and who they accept. And they have been known to change their minds or reverse a previous Chief's lists.

    This stuff is not as cut and dry as some would wish it to be. It is far less about what last name you carry. It is much more about where, the area, that your people come from.

    The vast majority of Scots are not, and never were, within or under the Highland Clan system.
