 Clan Shaw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clan Shaw is an ancient Scottish clan, part of the Chattan Confederation and formerly a sept of Clan MacKintosh.
The Shaws are an ancient Scottish clan, which played a considerable role in Highland history, and which traces its ancestry to the old Earls of Fife and thus the royal line of the Scottish kings.
By tradition, he led the Clan Chattan contingent to victory at the famed Clan Battle of the North Inch at Perth in 1396 and was, as a reward, given the lands of Rothiemurchus, which became the first "seat" of the Clan.

 Clan MACKINTOSH

Mackintosh replied that he would stoop even to this to save his father’s house, and, as the interview took place in the kitchen of the castle, he knelt down before the block on which the animals for the use of the garrison were broken up, and laid his neck upon it.
The Mackintoshes were later connected with the chiefship of Clan Chattan (a confededation of clans claiming descent from the bailie of the Abbey of Kilchattan in Bute) when Angus, 6th chief married Eva, the heiress of Clan Chattan in 1291.
