A Clan is a surname-and-territory grouping — Drummond; a Family is a set of tartans carried by one branch over more than a couple of generations — <em>Drummond of Megginch</em>, <em>Drummond of Perth</em>. That second name is the interesting part. &quot;<em>of</em> Megginch&quot;, &quot;<em>of</em> Perth&quot; is a <strong>territorial designation</strong>: it names land. And land, in the Scottish tradition, usually means a <strong>seat</strong> — a castle.</p>
