Origins of the Clan We began our journey around the border between Pakistan and India. Along with other Celtic tribes, or family groups we kept heading west, building stone magaliths as we went all across Europe. When we hit Ireland, no one had the fare to cross the Atlantic, so we started back across the Isle of Man and settled in Scotland along the border with England. We were a "sept" of the Clan McTavish. A sept is like a sharecropper cousin, allowed to live on their land for a small up-front payment of cow and such, and the pledge to take up the Claymore in defense of their land. |
