The MacIntosh: The Origins of the Clan MacIntosh and Their Place in History

by John Mackay

Here is recounted the stirring history of the Clan MacIntosh from its beginning in the mists of medieval Caledonian history down to the present time. The clan's turbulent exploits spanned the bloodthirsty, feuding saga of Scotland's history and the dramatic tales here retold recall dashing Highland charges, brutal battles, breathless chases and deadly duels. The clan MacIntosh were at the centre of a Highland confederacy that helped shape the destiny of their country. They were embroiled in numerous clan vendettas over the centuries and here their colourful story is told in all its vivid detail. This little book contains, where available, the clan motto, crest and tartan, in addition to the history of the name.
