Arnott Tartan in Argyllshire, Campbelltown

[Arnie991]

Do you have information on the Arnott Clan in Scotland? My son and I went to where the Dispatch sank in Ilse a Mort something like that, about 5 years ago. I got a lot of my information from Bruce Arnott. He has passed away now. I would be interested to know what other Arnott's we are related to in Scotland, Ireland and Australia. How far back do you have the Arnott's? what info do you have on Catherine and Charlie Syer and family?

I had info going back to the Howie (Huie (spelling varies)) Clan and the relations going back to about the 14th century. I don't have it with me right now but, it's back in NC; I'm in MI.
I found out about Bruce too late to communicate with him; I know he has some info I don't. Most of my information is on the Syer's since that's more direct for me.

Wondering if ishmut is still active in this group? I have a question regarding the Arnott family the the Despatch wreck.

Hello Robin Tulk I just noticed the post you sent two years ago. if you still on this site maybe I could help you out about the Arnott Family and the Despatch Wreck.

The clan system was a social feature of the Highlands and Islands; not every Scot is or was a member of a clan. Arnot(t) is not a clan or Highland name. It originates as a territorial surname from the lands of Arnot in Kinross-shire, which is firmly in the Lowlands.

There may or may not be an Arnott tartan, but if your Arnotts were in Kintyre, they must have moved there from somewhere else.

Thank you Forfarian for the information. I have only found information on the Arnut, Arnot from Campbeltown. Im at a brick wall there. Still working on what  Arnot's are related there.
