	Clan MACRAE
		MacRae, they say, fought under Fitzgerald at the battle of Largs in 1263, and while Fitzgerald was appointed Constable of Eilandonan Castle on Loch Duich, MacRae settled in the Aird of Lovat, from which his descendants afterwards migrated to Glenshiel in Kintail.
		Septs of Clan MacRae: Macara, MacCraw, Macra, Macrach, MacRaith, MacRath, Rae.

	Armigerous clan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Armigerous clan or Family, is a Scottish clan which does not currently have (a) a chief recognised by the Lord Lyon, King of Arms and therefore has no official position under Scots law and (b) a member of which is armigerous.
		Following the 1745 Jacobite Rising and the dismantling of the clan system, many of the chiefly lines of clans and families were lost.
		While the smaller clan retains a clan crest, it owes allegiance to the chief of the larger clan.

		Perhaps a MacRae went north from Kintail or perhaps this is another Pictish line that went to Norway.

		The rules of the Scottish clan system (I quote): Excepting the "District", "Caledonia" and "Jacobite" tartans, no one should wear a tartan to which he is not by name or descent entitled.
		Infact most clan tartans today were developed since the military Highland Independent Companies introduced the idea of using the pattern for identity between 1725 and 1739.
		With exceptions there are very few examples of tartan patterns being used for clan identity prior to 1700, moreover it was the cap badge, usually a plant or ribbon, which was used for identity.
