Hi,
The most usual term, in Gaelic, for second sight, is actually "An Dà
Shealladh", which literally means "two sights", and a very interesting
article about this phenomena can be found at
http://www.cpa.ed.ac.uk/edit1/14/sight.html
However, there is no particular record of families in which this
occurs, although it would appear to be more common in those families
of Celtic origin rather than Norman, and a child born at "Samhain"
(Midsummer's Eve) was usually said to have second sight, or An Dà
Shealladh.
The direct answer to your specific question is no - there is no
specific record of families in Scotland where this phenomena occurs,
however, some time spent researching the origins of the various Clans
would help you to select those that were more likely to have this
particular phenomena occur.
