Alexander is accepted as a sept of Clan MacAlister, Clan MacDonald (Sometimes called Clan Donald) and Clan MacDonnell.If you are descended from Alexander, you can join one of these clans.My preference would be MacDonald as it is the most active in the U.S. and is the largest clan.MacAlister would be second choice.You can join all three, but MacDonald should be your primary if you want to be involved in Scottish events.
The Scots in Northern Ireland is where the phrase "Scots-Irish" derived.These are Scots who fled Scotland after England took over the last time.They are known as the Ulster Scots.
I'm a member of Clan Gunn.I was thinking Clan Gunn also accepted Alexander.I'll check into that to make sure.The Gunns were the Vikings.
