A Scottish clan (from Gaelic clann, "children") is a kinship group among the Scottish people. Clans give a sense of shared identity and descent to members. The clan names followed with the leaders who ruled the lands, ranging from early Pictish and Gaelic names, to pioneering settlers from France, Norway, and England who made their home in Scotland.
Some of the more powerful clans held large swaths of lands while others controlled smaller territories. This visualization compares the clan's occupied lands to the modern day districts of Scotland.
