FYI one surname cannot be a sept of more than one clan, though there may be individuals using the same surname who belong to different clans.
"There is no official list of recognised septs. This is a matter for each chief to determine. But where a particular sept has traditionally been associated with a particular clan it would not be appropriate for that name to be treated by another clan chief as one of its septs."---The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs, http://www.clanchiefs.org/clans_who.html
