Welcome to Xmarks Josh.
The only thing I might add to what Scott has offered is to be aware that not all Scottish names have stereotypical prefaces of "Mac" "Mc" etc. And, that many families are septs of clans whose name is not audibly related to that family name.
For instance, the last name of "Bell" is a sept of Clan MacMillan. One may not automatically assume that "Bell" is a Scottish name, nor that it was a sept of a clan whose name is so dissimilar.
I hope that helps, and again, Welcome Aboard!.
