  • Historical Notes on Some Surnames and Patronymics Associated with the Clan Grant
    Historical Notes on Some Surnames and Patronymics Associated with the Clan Grant Introduction In 1953, a little book entitled Scots Kith & Kin was first published in Scotland. The primary purpose of the book was to assign hundreds less well-known Scottish surnames and patronymics as ‘septs’ to the larger, more prominent highland clans and lowland families. Although the book has apparently been a commercial success for over half a century, it has probably disseminated more spurious information and hoodwinked more unsuspecting purchasers than any publication since Mao Tse Tung’s Little Red Book. One clue to the book’s lack of intellectual integrity is that no author, editor, or research authority is cited on the title page. Moreover, the 1989 revised edition states in a disclaimer that “…the publishers regret that they cannot enter into correspondence regarding personal family histories” – thereby washing their hands of having to defend, substantiate or otherwise explain what they have published. Anyone who has attended highland games or Scottish festivals in the United States has surely seen the impressive lists of so-called ‘sept’ names posted at the various clan tents. These names have also been imprinted on clan society brochures and newsletters, and more recently, posted on their websites. The purpose of the lists, of course, is to entice unsuspecting inquirers to join their clan society. These lists of ‘associated clan names’ have been compiled over the years, largely from the pages of Scots Kith & Kin and several other equally misleading compilations of more recent vintage. When I first joined the Clan Grant Society in 1977, I asked about the alleged ‘sept’ names and why they were assigned to our clan.
