Clan Anderson is a Lowlands Scottish clan. As the clan does not currently have a chief recognised by the Court of the Lord Lyon, it is therefore considered an armigerous clan. Variations of the surname are however considered septs of several other clans of the Scottish Highlands: The surname MacAndrews is considered a sept of the Clan Mackintosh and the wider Clan Chattan Confederation. Clan Anderson is also associated with the Clan MacDonell of Glengarry. The surnames Andrew and Andrews are also considered septs of the Clan Ross.
