Is the last name McAloon Scottish or Irish?

I know i'm either Scottish or Irish on a. my hair and b. the knowledge of my ancestry and was always told i was Irish, but now my mother is saying she thinks I'm Scottish and i can't ask my dad because he is in better place and that's where the Irish/Scottish came from, so I'm really perplexed and wondering if you could help :]
