	Clan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A clan is a group of people united by kinship and descent, which is defined by perceived descent from a common ancestor.
		Still other clans are bilateral, consisting of all the descendants of the apical ancestor through both the male and female lines; the clans of Scotland are one example.
		Often, the distinguishing factor is that a clan is a smaller part of a larger society such as a tribe, a chiefdom, or a state.

	History of the Clan Macrae - Mackenzie Family (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tradition relates that the Macraes came originally from Ireland, and were of common ancestry with the Mackenzies and the Macleans, and it is said that a company of them fought at the battle of Largs in 1263, under the leadership of Colin Fitzgerald, the reputed progenitor of the Mackenzies of Kintail.
		Mackenzie's proposals were accepted, and Macrae settled in Kintail, where he married one Macbeolan or Gillanders, a kinswoman of the Earls of Ross, by whom Kintail was held before it came into the possession of the Mackenzies.
		As the Macraes and Mackenzies were said to be of common ancestry, the Baron of Kintail expected loyal and faithful support from his newly arrived kinsman, and he was not disappointed.

	Clan MacKenzie
		Alexander Mackenzie of Kintail was one of the chiefs who attended the Parliament of 1427; but, as he was very young at the time, James I sent him not to prison but to school at Perth, which was then one of the centers of the Court.
		A last revolt by younger members of the MacDonald family, under Alexander of Lochalsh, was finally crushed, the leader captured by the Mackenzies, and the Lordship of the Isles itself was forfeit in 1493.
		This enabled the Mackenzies to obtain new land without antagonizing powerful neighbors and, what was perhaps more important, to acquire clear legal titles from their own superior, the Crown.

		In Scottish clans, the younger sons and grandsons of the Chief often founded what were known as cadet or landed families of their own.
		The Mackenzies therefore wavered during Montrose's campaigns of 1644 and 1645 and it was not until just before the tragedy of the death of Charles I that Seaforth, fully realizing that he must choose between the Covenant and the King, took up the Stewart cause which was ultimately to ruin his family.

		During the seventeenth century, the MacKenzies installed the clan MacRae as hereditary constables of the castle, and the MacRaes were to remain fiercely loyal to the family for many centuries.
		For a clan who were of no particular consequence in ancient days, the MacKenzie clan achieved an exceptional degree of political eminence between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries.
		This loyalty is symbolised in the clan motto "Cuidiche an righ" or "the king's tribute" and also in the appearance of a stag's head (a feudal gift to a king) in the chief's coat of arms.

		Although the Clan Mackenzie would never condone occult activities, the Legend of the Brahan Seer is held out of interest and is a part of the history of our Clan.
		Although the Brahan Seer has never formally been renounced by the Clan Mackenzie since his execution, it is interesting to speculate that if the Earls of Seaforth had repented and begged God's forgiveness (perhaps they did!) that matters may not have unfolded as they did.
		I'm of a real clan, too, but I don't think it matters one whit whether other people think I and the rest of my clan should forgive or condemn my ancient aunt for riding off with a horse thief, abandoning her children, and living a rip-roaring scandalous life 'til she bit the dust.
