Septs of Clan Boyd
Sept is an Irish word meaning family. It is how affiliated Scottish
families are referred to. How we may be related is for you to determine in your
search of your family's history. Many times it was simply that we lived in
the same area. Other times we were bound by our need for food, shelter
and allegiance in times of war. Many of the Sept families may be a result of
either marrying into the Boyd Clan or by swearing allegiance to the Chieftan.
The names listed below are a combination of the entymology of the name Boyd
and names gathered from various publications alleging an entitlement to wear
the Boyd Tartan and signifying a familial connection with the Scottish Border
Clan Family named Boyd.
Although they are not listed below, the Stewart Clan
and the Donald Clan both claim the Boyds as a Sept. This may be confusing, however, although Boyds may be considered Sept family to those two clans, the Boyd Septs, with exception, are not also Septs of the Stewart (Fullerton/Fullarton), and Donald Clans (check their listing, they claim most Scottish families!).
Wherever possible, There is a link to the home page for
the Clan that the Sept family may also have established in its own right, or that they may also be affiliated with. If you know any additional official clan site for any name listed here but not linked, please e-mail:
