Information on family names and Scottish clans?

Question

I'm looking for what Scottish clan my family belongs to, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know some good resources for this that contain extended lists of family names and not just the main ones?

(The surname is Flint, btw)

Answer 1

Try this website:

My family is from the Forsyth Clan (last name Forsyth) and the Keith Clan (last name Marshall).  We have a McCraken too, but so far I haven't been able to find what clan they belonged to.
