Septs of Clan Gregor
Septs are part of the extended family of the clan that hold a different family name from the clan itself. These smaller families were sometimes linked though marriage or lived on the land of the larger clan. They would follow the cheif and were considered part of the clan. Clan Gregor has an exceptionally large list of septs due to the Clan and name Gregor being banned for 171 years. For more information about the clan’s history check out our Clan History page.
