For the MacDonald Name Study.
It's well-known that the extended Clan Donald (and all related sub-clans, septs and branches) covered a very wide geographic area across the Western Highlands and isles. Without an intimate mental map, knowing which group was where can be quite bewildering. Especially when the old clan titles bear little resemblence to current place names.
To try and help make it more understandable where the various sub-clans or septs came from, I have made a first attempt at grouping them by region or area, with links to Ordnance Survey maps (hosted by Bing) or Wikipaedia for less well-defined items.
This is a first attempt, so all feedback and suggestions are welcome. The clan sept names are taken from the contents page of the book Clan Donald, by the Rev. Archibald MacDonald (abt.1870-1948), Minister of Killearnan, and the Rev. Angus MacDonald (bef.1870-), Minister of Killearnan.

Thanks in advance for all feedback and suggestions.
