What are some features of a Scottish clan map?

A Scottish clan map typically features a map of Scotland with regions identified with clan names. Some maps identify the major areas of Scotland with the associated clan, while others identify castles in clan regions as well.

The mainland of Scotland and the Western Isles are usually included in clan maps. Maps show the division of clan territories with clans identified as either highlands or lowlands clans. The lowland clans are any clans south of the River Forth. Clans are not confined to one region on the map and most clans exist in many locations. Clans such as Clan MacDonald and Clan MacDonell appear in many geographical areas.
