About Clan MacSporran
MacSporran, from the Gaelic Mac an Sporain ('son of the purse'), was the hereditary title of the purse-bearers or treasurers to the medieval Lords of the Isles, the MacDonald lordship that governed the Hebrides and much of the west Highlands. Over time the name and its bearers were largely absorbed into Clan MacDonald, and in some records the anglicized surname converged with Purcell. No independent clan lands, seat, or chief distinct from the MacDonald lordship are documented; MacSporran survives mainly as a historical household office rather than a landed clan
