Scottish equivalent of "Smith"
I've been doing some research recently and I seem to have hit a wall.
Short version: I'd like to discover what clan I'm "connected to" so I can obtain a Kilt in the proper Tartan. I'm wearing the "USMC Leatherneck" for my wedding as it is, after all, my adopted Clan, being a Marine and all... but my last name is Harbison. From what I can tell, the name could be connected to probably 10 or 20 different clans! ***! It seems we just bred like lemmings and spread all over the globe!
At this point, I'd just about welcome any reasonable attachment to just about any clan for which I can obtain a reasonably priced kilt and call it a day. Aside from the Leatherneck and a family Tartan, I'm leaning toward sticking to modern (e.g. utilikilt) Kilts. I don't want to build a collection of generic Tartans, just because it feels wrong to me to wear something I have no connection to. Ya dig?
Forgive me. I've been having a long talk with my friend Captain Morgan tonight...
Anyone have anything at all that links the Harbison name to a specific Clan?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I'm still somewhat new at it.
From what I can tell, I'm related to roughly 30% of Scotland and I'm ready to just throw my hands in the air.
