Hello
Well....... not much info in your post, is there?!

Just to give you the standard reply to your enquiry....

You don't say where you live - but I presume it is not in Scotland? If not....

You must start digging backwards, from your generation, then your parents, then their parents - and so on, until you get back to your first immigrant ancestor. With luck and hard work, you may then find out through passenger lists and/or immigration records, exactly WHERE your ancestor set sail from. This may not prove exactly where he/she came from, because he/she may have had to travel to a port many miles away from his/her home area. Only when you have successfully tracked your ancestor(s) back to Scotland will you then be able to 'prove' his/her Scottishness!

BTW - it would appear that Nugent is an Irish and Scots name - so you need to ascertain which 'Nugent' you belong to by the method I outlined above.

Good luck with your research.

We are in the same boat. I know I am Scottish and which clan but, I just don't have that much info on my ancestery. I am from the Davidson caln though. Sorry no help.

I have never personally heard the name Nugent. But it shouldn't be too hard if you know where to look.

And I'm from the Davidson clan too Sammiedee! Specifically from Fife.
