hi there,
i'm a mcgougan and thought i might be able to help a little.. or maybe not! my grandparents, sheena and john iain mcgougan had a shop in glasgow for a while, i think around the 70's, and also lived in tarbert for a number of years. i think there are still some mcgougans in the tarbert area. i think my grandfathers cousin or second cousin maybe was john smith, brief leader of the labour party. my great great grandfather was archibald mcgougan, who recieved some sort of medal for bravery. i think a realative and mcgougan several generations back was a doctor who moved to tasmania, possibly spawning the australian branch? i also know that my grandfather did a bit of geneology and traced our family tree, which seemed very much focused in argyll.
that's probably no help at all, but thought i'd post it anyway!
