(2007) Presenter Paul Murton puts aside popular myths to uncover the true stories behind Highland clan histories. He begins with a look at the MacGregor’s, who achieved such infamy in the 17th century that at one point having the name became punishable by death.

I’m looking for what Scottish clan my family belongs to, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know some good resources for this that contain extended lists of family names and not just the main ones?
(The surname is Flint, btw)

I was wondering if there was a Creswell clan? I have been told that there is one, but on all the clan research websites, I can’t find Creswell.
I have relatives in England.
Thank you for your help.

Series in which Paul Murton uncovers the history of Scotland’s most famous clans. During the 16th century terrible atrocities were committed as rival Highland clans battled for supremacy. The Age of Feuds and Forays was a high point for Gaelic culture but one stained with blood. One clan in particular flourished during this violent chapter in Scottish history and its name was MacLeod.

His descendents became one of the most powerful and ferocious Highland Clans. Almost a thousand years later Simon, the twenty-fifth chief of the clan, landed back in Normandy during D-Day, June 1944.

On 23 July, 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie landed on the Isle of Eriskay with seven men and proceeded to capture Scotland; over the following months he almost succeeded in wresting the British crown from his Hanoverian cousins. Clansmen and members of the same family fought against each other in some of the last battles to take place on British soil, culminating in the tragedy of Culloden.
