Heh, it's funny how well MacDonalds and Macleod's know Scottish/Irish history.
I talked to a lady who married into being a MacDonald while I was cashering. Without making any other comments about my lineage (I saw her ID... being the casheir and all) I stated "If this were 500 years ago, your husband and I would be after each other's heads."
She INSTANTLY knew I was Scottish. She finally guessed I was a Macleod.

The two prettiest girls in my high school were named McDonald and Campbell. They were also best friends.
I always thought that interesting since the two clans were mortal enemies.

I woulda said "Campbell" on first guess.
My Gaelic teacher told me there are still MacDonalds who won't sit on a school board with a Campbell.
Can't say I blame them, really.
