Question

Hello!  My name is Jeremy Walker.  I'm trying to find which clan in Scotland I come from.  I know that some ancestors came through Canada and two name I know are William Richardson and Richard Walker.  I want to know more so I can maybe visit Scotland and see where my people were and I'm hoping to find a name for my newborn coming in August.  Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

Richardson is a "sept" of Clan Buchanan and Walker is a "sept" of Clan MacGregor.Both of these Clans originated in the Highlands, so you will definitely want to visit Lock Lomond (Buchanan) and Glen Orchy (MacGregor).
