Clan MacKillop

MacKillop is a surname associated with branches of Clan Donald rather than a clan with a chief of its own. In Gaelic the name is Mac Fhilib, 'son of Philip', and bearers are counted as septs of the MacDonalds of Glencoe and the MacDonells of Keppoch; members of the name are also said to have been standard-bearers to a branch of the Campbells. Individual bearers of the name appear in Argyll church and legal records from the late 15th century onward.
