Scottish decent?

my mothers fathers family has scottish lineage. they have roots that go way back and the name has been unchanged for along freakin time. i feel a calling to that family. it has strong roots. i am a son, so i carry my fathers last name wich also has scottish roots. would i be acepted as family on my mothers side in scottland. i dont know them yet ,but want to get in touch with them. i know the name is carried down generation after generation. how does all that work? am i related to the family in scottland that has my mothers maiden name.? its not a average name. and there are storys that thats where we were from? just want to figure out for personal knowlege and i would like to start a family tree....
