SCOTTISH CLANS According
to some Historical authorities, the original population of the Scottish
Highlands and Islands consisted of tribes who occupied extensive
dish sets, and were governed by powerful chiefs called Earls. The
Head Earl, or supreme King, was called Ard ltigh. To him the others
gave unquestioning allegiance.
The manner of governing was akin to that of clanship, by which, according to Skene and Robertson, it was superseded in the thirteenth century. The new rule was more compact, every member of the same tribe, or subdivision of a tribe respectively, had a common surname, and united homage and unswerving service in peace or war were freely given to the chief, who was the protecting head of all.
