As you know - the family Spreull/Sproul/Sprowl etc is generally recognized as one of the Septs of Clan MacFarlane and indeed we have shared history through the Earls of Lennox and lands in the vicinity of Loch Lomond. We collaborate directly with Clan Macfarlane in our DNA project. Clan MacFarlane has a special tour of Scotland coming up in June-July 2020 that some of you may be interested in. See the flier below for information.

The Sprouls are a Sept of Clan MacFarlane and we have received a special invitation to join the Clan at this fun event! Kilts and Cowboy Boots Clan Gathering April 3-5 San Antonio, Texas Clan Colquhoun. Clan MacGregor. Clan Scott.  Clan MacFarlane For hundreds of years the clans in the Lennox fought for domination and resources. Ancient alliances between the MacFarlanes and Clan MacGregor against Clan Colquhoun are well documented. The Battle of Glen Fruin is one of the most famous events. The Clan Scott, meanwhile, was busy in the lowlands becoming one of the largest land holders in Scotland. In modern times, our clans in the USA share space in Scottish Games across the country. We have forged many friendships because of our shared love of Scotland and our Scottish heritage.
