I have been informed that the name 'McMillan' is of Scottish descent and I am looking for some insight to whether this is true or not. If so can anyone point me in the direction of some good information to help me find my family history. Hi

I am very engrossed in Scottish history and my own genealogy/family history. I graduated with a BFA in multimedia design, but have found my interest carrying me over to Scottish History, Archival studies, and my own interests in family history. I have thought about trying to apply for a masters in Scotland in Scottish History. I was wondering if you have any advice/suggestions since you have made a similar path that seems like what I'm interested in! I am very interested in the Highlands, Jacobitism, etc. I'm attempting to establish my connection to the Clan Mackintosh, following oral history which has been an interesting journey. What's better to start with as histories go? Is it better to start with 1800's, like Wm. Skene or more recent material? Thanks, Doyle Jody,

I found your essay on the clearances "spot on" to previous research I'd done, but your essay puts much into perspective. I particularly appreciated the economic underpinnings and straightforward discussion of underlying patterns that affected landlords and crofters/fishermen.. The ban on marriage and its link to emigration is new to me. I know the Church most often supported the landlords, but I will try to find more on this. Thank you!

Well, as you can see my last name is "Bruce" my grandfather told me that the name came from Scotland. And I was just woundering if you could please help me understand more of Robert de Bruce. -thanks! I was just reading your website, one of the many that talks about Robert de Bruce.
