  • Disingenuous Information About Clan Mactavish (The Clan Tavish Is an Ancient Highland Clan)
    DISINGENUOUS INFORMATION ABOUT CLAN MACTAVISH (THE CLAN TAVISH IS AN ANCIENT HIGHLAND CLAN) BY PATRICK L. THOMPSON, CLAN MACTAVISH SEANNACHIE COPYRIGHT © 2018, PATRICK L. THOMPSON THIS DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED, COPIED, OR STORED ON ANY OTHER SYSTEM WHATSOEVER, WITHOUT THE EXPRESSED WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. SANCTIONED CLAN MACTAVISH SOCIETIES OR THEIR MEMBERS MAY REPRODUCE AND USE THIS DOCUMENT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. The more proper title of the clan is CLAN TAVISH (Scottish Gaelic: Clann Tamhais ), but it is commonly known as CLAN MACTAVISH (Scottish Gaelic: Clann MacTamhais ). The amount of disingenuous information found on the internet about Clan MacTavish is AMAZING! This document is meant to provide a clearer and truthful understanding of Clan MacTavish and its stature as recorded historically in Scotland. Certain statements/allegations made about Clan MacTavish will be addressed individually. Disingenuous statement 1: Thom(p)son is not MacTavish. That statement is extremely misleading. The Clans, Septs, and Regiments of the Scottish Highlands (CSRSH), 8th Edition, 1984, pp. 301, 554, Frank Adam, revised by Lord Lyon Sir Thomas Innes of Learney, states: pg. 111 Date of the 8th Edition of CSRSH is 1984, and pages 331 & 554 therein reflects that MacTavish is a clan, and that Thompson and Thomson are MacTavish septs. It does not say that ALL Thom(p)sons are of Clan MacTavish; as that would be a totally false assumption. Providing a reference footnote was the most expedient method to correct a long-held belief that MacTavish was a sept of Campbell, without reformatting the pages in this section.

To the Government in Edinburgh, they were known as MacThomas and are so described in the Roll of the Clans in the Acts of the Scottish Parliament of 1587 and 1595 and MacThomas remains the official name of the Clan to this day. The early chiefs of the Clan MacThomas were seated at the Thom, on the east bank of the Shee Water opposite the Spittal of Glenshee. In about 1600, when the 4th Chief, Robert MacThomaidh of the Thom was murdered, the chiefship passed to his brother, John McComie of Finegand, about three miles down the Glen, which became the seat of the chiefs. By now, the MacThomases had acquired a lot of property in the glen and houses were well established at Kerrow and Benzian with shielings up Glen Beag.
