Description
The MacKays: A History of the Clan Rennie McOwan's book recounts the turbulent history of the Clan Mackay from medieval times to the present day. Spanning centuries, their story includes dashing Highland charges, brutal battles, breathless chases and deadly duels. Renowned swordsmen, the Clan Mackay could muster forces of four thousand strong at short notice in the Highlands. Their history is marked by long, bitter feuds with neighbouring clans like the Sutherlands, as well as their role as noted mercenaries. This little book provides a detailed account of the clan's motto, crest and tartan, alongside their history and name.
