Septs include:
Call, Caul, Coll, All, Surleus, Surley, Surly

includes “MacColl” as a sept of theirs.
It includes:
“MACCOLL: Many MacColls are assumed to be descended from the Clan Donald, wherein the forename of ‘Coll’ was common, and of a race who settled around Loch Fyne in Argyll where they later came under the influence of the Clan Campbell. Reputedly these MacColls soon became involved in the Campbell versus MacGregor feuds and this in turn brought them into conflict with the MacPhersons. In 1603 a band of MacPhersons enroute to aid the MacGregors, heard of their now infamous victory in Glen Fruin and on turning back to Badenoch encountered a band of raiding MacColls in Drumochter wherein the ensuing fight the MacColls lost most of their men, including their leader. The ancestry of this group has never been truly defined for another line of MacColls had settled in Appin where they became devoted followers of the Appin Stewarts. So intimate was this association that when a Chieftain of the Achnacone Stewarts died it was customary that he should be buried where a MacColl lay on either side of him. They fought in the Appin Regiment during the 1745-46 Jacobite Rising and of the 109 Appin killed or wounded, 33 were named MacColl. The McColls of Lochgilphead and Kilmory in Argyll are said to be more properly McNaughtons. Probably descended from the Loch Fyne race was Evan McColl the Gaelic poet, born at Kenmore on Loch Fyne in 1808. Evan was the author of “Clarsach nam Beann’ (‘The Mountain Minstrel’), and in 1930 a monument was erected there to his memory. The similar sounding name of MacCALL is of quite separate origin and is early found in Nithsdale where the MacCalls of Guffockland were long established. Guffockland was an estate near the village of Kirkconnel in the parish of Sanquhar. Here the name most probably derives from ‘MacCathail’ (son of Cathal), and while some MacCalls of Dumfries and Ayr shires may have descended from MacAulays of the Lennox, as sometimes averred, there is little evidence to support this. Clans to which allegiance might be declared would be identified by evidence of the geographical origins of one's ancestors. For those with southern or central Argyll origins the MacDonalds or Campbells would seem most appropriate, while those with Appin or Lorne origins would most probably have Appin Stewart association.”
