DNA results and links to MacDonald

I guess this is one for Rob - I've just received my stage 1 results (12 marker), and I don't appear to fit closely with any of the groups identified so far. I am surprised to find I am in Haplogroup R1A - not the usual for the Livingstones ? However, I find there is a group of R1A MacDonalds who are within a genetic distance of 1 (in DYS# 390). Is there a known link between the families prior to 1700 or so ? John Livingston York, UK
