CLAN MACRAE - A MOST BRIEF HISTORY 1

Leslie McRae

Chapter One - Origins of Clan MacRae The Scots came from Northern Ireland and settled in Argyll in Roman times. In about AD 500 a fresh influx from Ulster established a separate kingdom which is called Dalriada after them, ‘the tribe of Riada’. They made their capital, such as it was, at Dunadd. The dominant race in Scotland at this time were the Pics, a Celtic people of diverse origins who inhabited roughly the north. Strathclyde in the south-west was a kingdom of the Celtic Britons, while most of the south- east, from the Forth to the Tweed, was Anglo-Saxon. 2 Maurice Macrath – On Arrival in Scotland The earliest references to Clan MacRae take us to Maurice Macrath3 (abt 1280 – abt 1350) on the lands of Lord Lovat of Clunes. Maurice Macrath and two other men, Colin Fitzgerald and Gileoin na Tuaigh, arrived in Scotland4 from Ireland following a quarrel that came about after too much celebration during a wedding feast. When they arrived in Lovat country in Clunes, southeast of Kintail, they came upon an assassin about to attack Bissett, Lord of Lovat. The two other men refused to intervene because they had just fled from trouble caused by becoming involved in an argument. Maurice, however, killed the would-be assassin, and a grateful Bissett invited Maurice to settle on his estates in Lovat.5 The Bissetts lost control of Lovat sometime between 1305 and 1333.6 Having no male heirs, the Lordship of Lovat passed to the Frasers when Mary Bissett married a Fraser. The Macrath family remained at Lovat for several generations, and at least three generations of Fraser children were raised in a Macrath home, a common practice of the period. The Macraths and Frasers maintained such a close warm relationship through the generations that the Frasers inscribed the following over the door at Beaufort Castle in Beauly: ‘Fhad ‘sa bhitheas Frisealach a stigh, na biheadh Macrath a muigh’ (As long as a Fraser lives within, let not a Macrath remain without.) Maurice Macrath became chief forester for the Lovats and he had several sons; John, Christopher, Duncan, and Finlay7. Since there is no reference of his sons coming with him from Ireland, it is likely that all of the sons were born in Clunes. As chief forester, it was Maurice’s responsibility to assign starting positions in the forest to the hunters when great hunts were held. On one such occasion, the illegitimate son of the Earl of Lovat objected to his assigned position, and became abusive to Maurice. One of Maurice’s sons, John (Ian Charrich of Clunes), came to his father’s defense. Words led to blows, and finally to the death of Lovat’s son at John’s hands. The clan appears to have inhabited the lands of Clunes in the Beauly district in the 12th and 13th centuries, and removed to Kintail in the 14th century. The founder of the Kintail branch is said to be Fionnla Dubh MacGillechriosd (Finlay Macrae) who died in 1416. Duncan, 5th of Kintail, whose arrow caused the death of Donald Gorm of Sleat at Eilean Donan in 1539, was granted the lands of Inverinate about 1557, and these remained in the family for over 200 years. In 1677 Alexander, eldest son of Rev. John Macrae of Dingwall, received a wadset of the lands of Conchra and Ardachy, and became the progenitor of the Macraes of Conchra.9 This gives us the three primary branches of Clan MacRae; Clan MacRae of Kintail - Finlay Macrae Clan MacRae of Inverinate - Duncan Macrae Clan MacRae of Conchra - Alexander Macrae John (Ian Charrich) Macrath John Macrae (abt 1315 – abt 1400) was forced to leave Clunes after killing the Earl of Lovat’s illegitimate son. Ian Charrich, which means ‘fidgety John’, went to Kintail in western Ross, northwest of Clunes, where he spent his first night in the house of Macaulay at Achnagart. He eventually married Macaulay’s daughter, and their first child, Christopher (abt 1340 – abt 1410) was the first Macrae born in Kintail. John became connected with the

Mackenzies who were just getting a foothold in the west, having recently acquired Eilean Donan Castle near Dornie, Ross-Shire. The family he established was called Clann Ian Charrich Macrath of Torlysich. This was one of the chief families of Kintail for approximately 200 years.8 Christopher Macrath Christopher went to Braeross near Dingwall, and lived at Brahan, the main home of the Mackenzies. A piece of land became known as Cnoc mhicrath (MacRa’s hill), and the spring that provided water to the castle was called Tobair Mhicrath (MacRa’s well). Christopher’s descendants settled in Strathgarve, Strathbren, and Strathconan. Duncan Macrath Duncan went to Argyleshire, married the heiress of the Campbells of Craignish, and his successors took the surname of Campbell – effectively ending this branch of the Clan Macrath. Finlay Macrath Finlay eventually arrived in Kintail where his brother John (Ian Charrich) Macrath had settled earlier.

1 This brief history is not intended as an academic study and not all references can be historically validated. I’ve used many sources, and I quote or paraphrase heavily while interspersing my own thoughts with those of others. The sources referenced by others are contained in their original documents and are not necessarily repeated here. 2 Scottish Clans & Tartans, Neil Grant, The Hamlyn Publishing Group, 1987, p. 7. 3 The name Macrath in its many forms is not patronymic, and was applied to men ‘endowed with more than an ordinary measure of sanctity or grace.’ It means Son of Grace, or Luck, or Favour, or Prosperity. The first written appearance of the name is found in The Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland by the Four Masters (AD 448) in reference to Macraith the Wise, a member of the household of St. Patrick. Since Maurice was an Irishman, it may be more correct to use the Irish form Magrath. To allow for some consistency however, we will continue use of the form "Macrath" for Maurice and his sons. We begin use of the anglicised form "Macrae" for the offspring of Maurice's sons, and then change to the modified form of "Mcrae" later still, when and where the majority of records indicate such a change may be appropriate or necessary. 4 Working back from other dates, it is likely that Maurice arrived in Scotland around the year 1310 at about the age of 30. 5 The Scottish Connection, Faye Emily (McCraw) Moore, 1996. The source document can be found at http://www.macrae.org/mccraw2.html. 6 Since the Bissetts owned the estates of Lovat when Maurice arrived, we can surmise that they lost control sometime after Maurice’s arrival (about 1310), and sometime before John killed the Earl of Lovat’s son. Assuming that John would need to be at least 15 years of age before being able to kill another man of hunting age, this would place the death of the Earl of Lovat’s son sometime after 1330, narrowing the probable period when Bissetts lost control of Lovat to the years 1311 – 1330. 7 The four sons of Maurice give us some of the most dominant Clan MacRae names. Two other names that appear frequently are Murray and Alexander, and their origins will be discussed in later chapters. 8 Rev. John Macra, Rev. Alexander Macrae and Ella Macrae-Gilstrap, in describing the departure of John, indicate that although it was some time before the other sons left, there was at last only Maurice remaining at Clunes. This is not consistent with the Macraths remaining in Lovat for several generations, and 'fostering’ the children of the Frasers. While it is clear that the Macraths did develop a strong, lasting relationships with the Frasers, it is not clear which Macraths remained in Clunes during this period. 9 The Clans and Tartans of Scotland, Robert Bain, William Collins Sons & Co., 1968, p. 230. Chapter Two - Descendants of Maurice Of Clunes Macrath

Generations 1 - 10

Generation No. 1 1. Maurice Of Clunes1 MacRath1 was born Abt. 1280 in Ireland, and died Abt. 1350 in Scotland. Notes for Maurice Of Clunes MacRath: Of a possible migration of the Clan MacRae to Scotland from Ireland, little is known, but their first known home in Scotland was on the lands of Lord Lovat of Clunes (between Beauly and Inverness on the south side of the Beauly Firth) sometime during the mid-13th century. Virtually all sources are in agreement on the location. As evidence, they cite among other things the long and solid friendship between the Frasers of Lovat and the Macraes, and the presence of many Macraes near Dingwall. The tradition as told by Ella MacRae-Gilstrap is that Maurice MacRath and two others left Ireland as the result of a quarrel after too much celebration at a wedding feast, and came to Lovat country in Scotland, arriving just as a would-be assassin was about to attack Bissett, Lord of Lovat. Having just fled from trouble caused by becoming involved in an argument, the two others declined to intervene. But MacRath killed the assassin and the grateful Bissett invited MacRath to settle on his estates. The MacRath family remained for some time at Lovat. The Bissetts lost control of Lovat sometime between 1305 and 1333, when with no male heirs, their daughter Mary married a Fraser and the Lordship of Lovat passed to the Frasers. Mary and at least two succeeding generations of Fraser children were fostered (raised) in a MacRath home, and they developed such warm feelings for their foster family that the Frasers inscribed over the door at Beaufort Castle in Beauly the following: 'Fhad 'sa bhitheas Frisealach a stigh, na biheadh MacRath a muigh' (As long as a Fraser lives within, let not a MacRath remain without.) 2 Tradition says that Maurice had several sons. He was chief forester for the Lovats, and it was his responsibility to assign starting positions in the forest to the hunters when great hunts were held. On one such occasion, the illegitimate son of the Earl of Lovat objected to his assigned position, and became abusive to Maurice (by then an old man). One of Maurice's sons, John (Ian) of Clunes, came to his father's defense. Words led to blows and finally to the death of Lovat's son at John's hands. Faye Emily (McCraw) Moore, 1996 Children of Maurice Of Clunes MacRath are: 2 i. Duncan Of Clunes2 MacRath, born Abt. 1315. He married dau. ? Of Craignish Campbell. Notes for Duncan Of Clunes MacRath: Duncan went to Argyleshire, married the heiress of the Campbell's of Craignish and his successors took the surname of Campbell -- effectively ending this branch of Clan MacRae. 3 ii. Christopher Of Clunes MacRath, born Abt. 1316. Notes for Christopher Of Clunes MacRath: Christopher went to Braeross near Dingwall and lived at Brahan where a piece of land became known as Cnoc Mhicrath (MacRa's hill), and the spring well which afforded the water to the castle was called Tobair Mhicrath (MacRa's well). Brahan was then and continued to be the main home of the Mackenzies. Christopher's descendants settled in Strathgarve, Strathbren and Strathconan. 4 iii. John 'Ian Carrach' Of Clunes MacRath, born Abt. 1317; died Abt. 1400. He married dau. ? Macaulay Abt. 1340 in Achnagart. Notes for John 'Ian Carrach' Of Clunes MacRath: John (Ian Carrach) MacRae, which means "fidgety John", was forced to leave Clunes (southeast of Kintail) after he had killed the Earl of Lovat's illegitimate son. He went to Kintail where he spent his first night in the house of a man called Macaulay at Achnagart. He eventually married Macaulay's daughter and their child (Christopher) was the first MacRath born in Kintail. He was connected with the Mackenzies who were just getting a foothold in the west, having recently acquired Eilean Donan Castle. The family he established was called Clann Ian Charrich MacRath of Torlysich, and became for approximately 200 years, one of the chief families of Kintail until Malcolm Ian Charrich MacRae, Constable of Eilean Donan, lost his influence by supporting Hector Roy's claim for the estates of Kintail against John of Killin. There is no known recorded genealogy of John's descendants although according to Ella MacRae-Gilstrap, 'several well-known MacRae families claim descent from him.' Rev. John MacRa, Rev. Alexander Macrae and Ella MacRae-Gilstrap, in describing the departure of John, indicate that it was some time before the other sons left. According to all three versions, however, there was at last only Maurice remaining at Clunes. Faye Emily (McCraw) Moore, 1996 5 iv. Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes MacRath, born Abt. 1318. Generation No. 2 5. Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes2 MacRath (Maurice Of Clunes1) was born Abt. 1318. Notes for Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes MacRath: Finlay eventually wound up in Kintail with his brother John MacRae. Child of Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes MacRath is: 6 i. Christopher3 MacRae, born Abt. 1350; died Abt. 1410. Generation No. 3 6. Christopher3 MacRae (Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes2 MacRath, Maurice Of Clunes1) was born Abt. 1350, and died Abt. 1410. Notes for Christopher MacRae: Christopher was the first MacRae born in Kintail. Child of Christopher MacRae is: 7 i. Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd4 MacRae, born Abt. 1380; died Aft. 1427. Generation No. 4 7. Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd4 MacRae (Christopher3, Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes2 MacRath, Maurice Of Clunes1)2 was born Abt. 1380, and died Aft. 1427. Notes for Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd MacRae: Fionnla Macrae, known as Black Finlay Macrae, was progenitor of the Kintail family. His descendants from 1520 became the keepers of Eilean Donan Castle, the stronghold of the Mackenzies of Kintail. Like the

3 Maclennans, the Macraes faithfully supported the Mackenzies and were often referred to as the "Mackenzies shirt of mail." Children of Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd MacRae are: 8 i. Christopher5 MacRae, born Abt. 1440. 9 ii. John MacRae, born Abt. 1442; died Abt. 1520. Generation No. 5 8. Christopher5 MacRae (Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd4, Christopher3, Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes2 MacRath, Maurice Of Clunes1)3 was born Abt. 1440. Children of Christopher MacRae are: 10 i. Finlay6 MacRae, born Abt. 1466. 11 ii. Donald MacRae, born Abt. 1468. 12 iii. Duncan 'Big Duncan Of The Battle Axe' MacRae, born Abt. 1470. 13 iv. Maurice MacRae, born Abt. 1472. 9. John5 MacRae (Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd4, Christopher3, Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes2 MacRath, Maurice Of Clunes1)4 was born Abt. 1442, and died Abt. 1520. Child of John MacRae is: 14 i. Margaret6 MacRae, born Abt. 1510; died 1598. She married John Of Drummory Gordon. Notes for Margaret MacRae: Margaret was Lady in Waiting to the Countess of Sutherland, and who appears to have married John Gordon of Drummory, son of Adam Gordon, Dean of Caithness, son of Alexander, 1st Earl of Huntly. From the marriage to John Gordon, descended the Gordons of Embo. and for this reason we are told that "there was of old great friendship and correspondence betwixt the Gordons of Sutherland, come of this family, and the MacRaes of Kintail.' HCM, p 16 Generation No. 6 10. Finlay6 MacRae (Christopher5, Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd4, Christopher3, Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes2 MacRath, Maurice Of Clunes1)5 was born Abt. 1466. Children of Finlay MacRae are: 15 i. Christopher 'Gillechriosd'7 MacRae, born Abt. 1485; died Aft. 1539. 16 ii. John 'Ian Mor nan Cas' MacRae, born Abt. 1486. 17 iii. Gilpatrick MacRae, born Abt. 1488. 18 iv. Miles 'Maolmuire' MacRae, born Abt. 1490; died Bef. 1539 in Kinlochewe6. Notes for Miles 'Maolmuire' MacRae: Part of a monument erected on the spot where Miles was killed is said to have been standing about 1700. Miles left numerous issue, some of whom appear to have lived in Gairloch, and others in Tain. HCM, p. 24 12. Duncan 'Big Duncan Of The Battle Axe'6 MacRae (Christopher5, Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd4, Christopher3, Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes2 MacRath, Maurice Of Clunes1)7 was born Abt. 1470. Notes for Duncan 'Big Duncan Of The Battle Axe' MacRae: Duncan greatly distinguished himself with his battle-axe at the Battle of Park, which was fought at Strathpeffer between the Macdonalds and the Mackenzies shortly before the death of Alexander Ionraie, which took place in 1488. Oral tradition says that Big Duncan was nineteen years at the time of the battle. Duncan was a contemporary of the son of Alexander, Kenneth Ionraic (Coinneach a Bhlair), or Kenneth of the battle, knighted by James IV of Scotland. From this, we estimate Duncan's birth date c. 1470. From this date, we have estimated descendants back to Maurice of Clunes. LAM "Big Duncan of the Battle Axe" (Donnach Mor na Tuaigh) was a tall, wild-looking young Macrae of 19 who accounted for dozens of Macdonald dead at the Battle of Blar-na-Pairc. At the beginning of the battle, Duncan found himself in possession of a rusty old axe and seemed to be in a world of his own, hanging back at the edge of the fight. He was spotted by Red Hector who asked him why he was not fighting. Pointing to the axe he was holding in his hands, Duncan replied he wouldn't fight and do a man's work unless he got a man's esteem.''Do a man's work, and at once, and you will get a man's esteem,'' said Hector. Duncan charged into the fight and killed a man with his first blow, dragged him to the side and then sat on the body. Red Hector, spotting Duncan's inactivity once more, asked him why he'd stopped fighting. Duncan replied if he got the esteem of one man's work then he'd only do one man's work. Do two men's work and you'll get two 4 men's esteem, Red Hector shouted out angrily. At this Duncan again plunged into the fight, slew another Macdonald, dragged him back and then sat down again on both bodies. Now more than a little exasperated at the strange antics of the Macrae, a furious Hector ordered him to get to work or he would have him to reckon with instead. At that, Duncan flew into the attack with a savageness credited to have turned the fortunes of the battle, with dozens of Macdonalds swept aside as if they were little more than blades of grass. Where the fighting was at its thickest, Duncan is said to have met one of the Macdonald leaders, Maclean of Lochbuie (Lachlan MacThearlaich), who by all accounts was proving a particularly deadly adversary. It turned out to be a battle of the giants, with both more than a match for each other in skill and strength, one armed with a sword and the other an axe. But Duncan, with no armor of any kind proved the nimbler, Maclean finding it difficult to move at great speed because of the chain mail he was wearing. The Macrae parried the sword blows with ease but, forced to move back, stumbled and fell into a ditch. Luckily his enemy's sword also became stuck in the ditch, too. Bending forward to withdraw it, Maclean's neck was exposed for just a second, long enough for Duncan to bring his axe down. When the enemy saw their leader's head cut clean off, it proved the beginning of the end, the rout which had been threatening from the word go turning into a headlong flight. Though the battle was now over, the killing continued through the surrounding hills and glens as the Mackenzies pursued their hated enemies without mercy. Faye Emily (McCraw) Moore, 1996 Child of Duncan 'Big Duncan Of The Battle Axe' MacRae is: 19 i. Dougal7 MacRae. Notes for Dougal MacRae: About 1480 Allan Macleod, Laird of Gairloch whose wife was a sister of Hector Roy, had been murdered with his two young sons by his brothers in an effort to destroy the influence of the Mackenzies in Gairloch. Hector Roy undertook to avenge the three deaths by destroying the MacLeods. When the affair was reported to Edinburgh, Hector Roy received a commission of Fire and Sword against the MacLeods of Gairloch and launched an offensive. Big Duncan of the Axe (Duncan MacRae) and his son Dougal fought together with Hector Roy against the MacLeods. At one point in the battle, Dougal was attached by four men. When told that his son was in grave danger, Big Duncan replied "Leave him alone. If he is my son there is no fear of him." Dougal eventually triumphed, killing all four MacLeods. Generation No. 7 15. Christopher 'Gillechriosd'7 MacRae (Finlay6, Christopher5, Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd4, Christopher3, Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes2 MacRath, Maurice Of Clunes1)8 was born Abt. 1485, and died Aft. 1539. More About Christopher 'Gillechriosd' MacRae: Occupation: 1511-1538, Constable of Eilean Donan Children of Christopher 'Gillechriosd' MacRae are: 20 i. Christopher 'Beg'8 MacRae, born Abt. 1500. Notes for Christopher 'Beg' MacRae: After the death of his brother the Chief of the Mackenzies, and his brother's oldest son, Hector Roy attempted for a time to assume the role of Chief. He questioned the heritage of the Chief's younger son, John of Killin, who was still a child. He was well liked in Kintail, and was supported by Malcolm Ian Charrich MacRae, constable of Eilean Donan Castle. With the assistance of the descendants of Finlay (among many others), the supporters of John of Killin prevailed and in 1507 obtained an order from the Lords of Council that Hector Roy must surrender the castle. When he didn't yield, John of Killin's supporters took Hector Roy prisoner and faced with a threat of death, he agreed to turn the Kintail estates over to John when he reached adulthood. John demanded the castle immediately. As constable, Malcolm refused to give it up without Hector Roy's consent. During the ensuing siege, Malcolm's cattle were brought to the seashore and slaughtered to feed the besiegers. Hector Roy consented to the surrender of the castle, but Malcolm still refused to give it up until he was paid for the loss of his cattle. Hector Roy finally convinced him to surrender the castle. Upon gaining control, John of Killin immediately dismissed Malcolm and installed Finlay MacRae's descendant, Christopher MacRae as constable of Eilean Donan Castle. The incident provoked a feud between the two western branches of the MacRae family which lasted for "many years." The feud between the two branches of the Mackenzies lasted for over 100 years. 21 ii. Duncan 'Donnacha Mac Gillechriosd' MacRae, born Abt. 1502; died Abt. 1560. 22 iii. Farquhar Of Torlysich MacRae, born Abt. 1504; died Abt. 1550. 23 iv. Finlay Dubh MacRae, born Abt. 1506; died Abt. 1550. 5 24 v. John MacRae, born Abt. 1508; died Abt. 1555. 25 vi. Donald MacRae, born Abt. 1510; died Abt. 1560. Generation No. 8 21. Duncan 'Donnacha Mac Gillechriosd'8 MacRae (Christopher 'Gillechriosd'7, Finlay6, Christopher5, Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd4, Christopher3, Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes2 MacRath, Maurice Of Clunes1)9 was born Abt. 1502, and died Abt. 1560. He married dau. ? Of Glenmoriston10 Abt. 1536, daughter of Duncan Ban Of Glenmoriston. Notes for Duncan 'Donnacha Mac Gillechriosd' MacRae: Duncan (Donnacha Mac Gillechriosd) is progenitor of the Inverinate family. Duncan, second son of Christopher, was called Donnacha Mac Gillechriosd. He was in his own day a prominent man in the affairs of Kintail, and gained great renown for himself by killing Donald Gorm Macdonald, of Sleat, at the siege of Ellandonan Castle, in 1539. HCM, p 24 Duncan (5th of Kintail) MacRae fatally wounded Duncan Gorm the chief of the Macdonalds of Sleat in 1539, protecting Eilean Donan castle. Sometime later, Duncan MacRae, Chamberlain of Kintail was granted the estate of Inverinate that remained in the family for over 200 years. The MacRaes as loyal followers of the Mackenzies were not only constables of Eilean Donan Castle, but were also Chamberlains of Kintail and Vicars of Kintail as well as sharing with them their hatred of the Macleods. In 1539 when Donald Gruamach of Sleat was besieging the (Eilean Donan) castle (at that time commanded by a Matheson), in his effort to restore the lordship of the Isles in his own person, Duncan MacRae, son of a previous constable, shot him in the knee with an arrow fired from the battlements. The would might not have been so bad but Sleat impatiently wrenched out the arrow, and the barbs fatally ripped an artery. There are other tales of the individual military prowess of 'the wild MacRaes,' one of whom, when Cromwellian troops occupied Eilean Donan, slew a soldier with one stroke of his sword. Scottish Clans & Tartans, Neil Grant, The Hamlyn Publishing Group, 1987, p. 210. Duncan, 5th of Kintail, whose arrow caused the death of Donald Gorm of Sleat at Eilean Donan in 1539, was granted the lands of Inverinate about 1557, and these remained in the family for over 200 years.

Finlay Dubh8 MacRae (Christopher 'Gillechriosd'7, Finlay6, Christopher5, Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd4, Christopher3, Fionnla Mor Nan Gad Of Clunes2 MacRath, Maurice Of Clunes1)11 was born Abt. 1506, and died Abt. 1550. He married Isabel Mackenzie, daughter of Dougal Mackenzie and dau.. Notes for Finlay Dubh MacRae: Lived at Aryugan, near Ardintoul. Notes for Isabel Mackenzie: Isabel Mackenzie was the daughter of Sir Dougal Mackenzie, Priest of Kintail. Finlay and Isabel had a son, Christopher. Isabel left her husband to make her home with Alister Dubh Chisholm of Strathglass, taking Christopher with her. When he was grown, Christopher settled in Strathglass, became a man of importance and means, and from him there were descended MacRaes of Strathglass. There are no previous instances of MacRaes marrying Chisholms in the recorded MacRae genealogies. Child of Finlay MacRae and Isabel Mackenzie is: 28 i.

Notes for Maurice Of Kintail MacRae: Maurice, fifth son of Christopher, is said to have been a strong and industrious man, who loved Kintail better than any other place. He had advantageous offers from Earl Colin to go to Kinlochewe; but he would not go, and the Earl, appreciating his devotion to his native place, gave him his choice of a tack in it. He was a man of means, and gave money to the Laird of Chisholm, for which he and his successors had grazing in Glen Affrie till the principal was paid. Maurice was drowned in Strathglass on his way home from Inverness, and was buried in Kintail. More About Maurice Of Kintail MacRae: Burial: Kintail Cause of Death: Drowned 34 vi.

Farquhar Macrae of Inverinate (1580-1662) combined his offices as Constable of Eilean Donan and Chamberlain of Kintail with that of Vicar of Kintail for over 40 years.

Donald MacKinnon, Portree, Skye, Scotland, 1929, reprinted by The Clan MacLeod Society USA, Migration Project Publications Series, Number 1, 1984, p. 12. They (MacRaes) became constables of Eilean Donan castle -- not a hereditary office since it was sometimes held by others -- more-or-less permanently. They also held other honoured posts under Mackenzie of Seaforth, whose chamberlain was at various times a MacRae, and were ministers of surrounding parishes. In the 17th century the same man was constable of Eilean Donan and minister of Kintail. This was Farquhar MacRae (1580-1662) of Inverinate, whose grandson Duncan of the Silver Cups compiled the invaluable Gaelic poetry anthology known as the Fernaig Manuscript, which contained works by himself and other MacRaes.

He married dau. ? Of Balmacarra Matheson, daughter of Dugald Of Balmacarra Matheson. Notes for John MacRae: John was governor or tutor to Colin Mackenzie, first Earl of Seaforth, at the University of Edinburgh, and appears to have gained a great influence over his pupil, whose "early and unexpected death (in 1633) did so dispirit him that he afterwards lived in the Highlands more obscurely than was expected of him." He also studied medicine, and left behind him a great reputation among his own countrymen for his skill as a physician. HCM, p 4-45. Children of John MacRae and dau. Matheson are: 54 i.

Endnotes 1. Neil Grant, Scottish Clans & Tartans, (The Hamlyn Publishing Group, 1987), 209, The name MacRath means 'son of grace'. MacRae is one of many anglicised forms, which include Macrea and the Irish form Magrath, which is closest to the original. It is basically a forename (like MacBeth), and may or may not have something to do with the number of MacRaes who entered the Church in the early modern period. When surnames first became common at the end of the Middle Ages MacRaes cropped up in various parts of the Lowlands and modern MacRaes are not necessarily related to the clan for ever associated with Kintail and the castle of Eilean Donan. 2. History Of The Clan MacRae, 14, According to Rev. John Macrae, the founder of the Clan MacRae of Kintail was Fionnla Dubh Mac Gillechriosd (Black Finlay, the son of Christopher), who was removed by two or three generations from the man who came from Clunes. 3. History Of The Clan MacRae, 16, Christopher, eldest son of Finlay Dubh, of whom very little is known, had four sons; 1. Finlay, 2. Donald, 3. Duncan, 4. Maurice. 4.

History Of The Clan MacRae, 21, Finlay, eldest son of Christopher, was the contemporary and chief counselor of John of Killin, ninth Baron of Kintail, who fought at Flodden in 1513, and at Pinkie in 1547. 6. History Of The Clan MacRae, 24, Miles or Malmuire was killed at Kinlochewe shortly before 1539 by the followers of Donald Gorm Macdonald, of Sleat. 7. History Of The Clan MacRae, 16-17, Duncan, who was the most noted of Christopher's sons, is known in the traditions of Kintail as Donnacha mor na Taugh (Big Duncan of the Battle-Axe). He was a man of great valour and personal strength, and many legends have been preserved of the brave deeds he performed in the contests of the Mackenzies and Macraes with their common enemies. He greatly distinguished himself with his battle-axe at the Battle of Park, which was fought at Strathpeffer between the Macdonalds and the Mackenzies shortly before the death of Alexander Ionraic, which took place in 1488. 8. History Of The Clan MacRae, 24, Eldest son of Finlay, was appointed Constable of Ellandonan Castle, ..., probably about 1511. 9. History Of The Clan MacRae, 29, The year 1557 was probably the date of Duncan's return to Kintail (from Crochel, in the country of Lord Lovat). 10. History Of The Clan MacRae, 30, Duncan married the widow of John Dubh Matheson, Constable of Ellendonan. She was a daughter of Duncan Ban of Glenmoriston, and was first married to Sir Dougal Mackenzie, ... 11. History Of The Clan MacRae, 24-25, Called Finlay Dubh. He married Isabel, daughter of Sir Dougal Mackenzie, Priest of Kintail, who is spoken of as a very beautiful woman, but of doubtful character. 12. History Of The Clan MacRae, 33, Christopher, eldest son of Duncan, was for some time Constable of Ellendonan Castle. He is said to have been "prudent and solid in counsel and advice, bold, forward and daring when need required, yet remarkably merciful during the bloody wars 'twixt Mackenzie and Glengarry." 13. History Of The Clan MacRae, 30, John, who was "a resolute and warlike man," and took a very active part in the great feud which raged at this time between the Macdonalds of Glengarry and the Mackenzies of Kintail. 14. History Of The Clan MacRae, 25, Christopher settled in Strathglass, where he became a man of importance and means, and from him the Macraes of Strathglass were descended. 15. History Of The Clan MacRae, 171-172, John Breac was married, but it is uncertain who his wife was. He had at least three children, and his eldest son, Duncan, was born before his marriage. 16. History Of The Clan MacRae, 44, The Rev. John, third son of Christopher, was "a man of an able and strong body, a sharp and sagacious mind, and somewhat more curious in his learning than his elder brother, Mr. Farquhar."

Notes for Duncan Macrae Of Kintail: The decisive battle of the 1715 Jacobite uprising took place at Sheriffmuir, near Stirling. Of the 232 Jacobite casualties, 60 were killed, but a widely disproportionate percentage of the deaths were suffered by the Macraes. It was said that after the battle there were 58 more widows in Kintail. There is today a monument on the battlefield which tells the story: In memory of the Macraes killed at Sheriffmuir, 13th November, 1715 when defending the royal house of Stuart. The Kintail and Lochalsh companies formed part of the left wing of the Highland army and fell almost to a man. Among those killed at the Battle of Sheriffmuir was Duncan (Donnachadh Mac Alister) Macrae. As a young man he was known for both his superior strength and his tender heart. The story is told that when a servant in his father's house became ill and everyone was afraid to go near her, Duncan picked her up and carried her in his arms all the way to Glenshiel where she was cared for and recovered from her illness. While marching through Achnagart on the way to the battle at Sheriffmuir, he is said to have stopped long enough to lift a stone into place which six men had been trying unsuccessfully to do. He then said that he hoped there would never be a time when there were no Macraes who could do such a feat. During the battle, he killed at least seven men with his claymore (sword) as the left flank of the Jacobite army was beaten back, before he was shot down by an English trooper with a pair of loaded pistols. His claymore was exhibited for many years in the Tower of London as "The great Highlander's sword." Who was this Duncan (Donnachadh Mac Alister) Macrae?

He married Janet 'nighean lachlan Mhie Thearlie' Mackinnon, daughter of Lauchlan 'The Bard' Mackinnon. Notes for Finlay Macrae Of Kintail: SOURCE: THE MACLEODS OF ARNISDALE, compiled by Rev. Donald Mackinnon, Portree, Skye, Scotland, 1929, reprinted by The Clan Macleod Society USA, Migration Project Publications Series, Number 1, 1984, p. 12. Son of John Breac, son of the Rev. Farquhar Macrae of Kintail. In the year 1719 another project revived the hopes of the Jacobites in consequence of the expedition sent from Spain under the Duke of 0rmond which ended in disappointment, the armada as it was called, being dispersed and disabled off Cape Finisterre by a violent storm which lasted twelve days; only two of these ships reached Scotland and had on board the Earl Marischall and Seaforth the Marques of Tullibardine some field officers together with three hundred Spaniards and arms for two thousand men. This small force landed in Kintail and the fiary cross was sent through the country to rouse the men to arms -- the Kintail and Lochalsh men, with some forces from the neighbouring clans. This gallant band marched through the pass of Glenshiel to encounter some regular troops that were advancing from Inverness under General Wightman. There the Highlanders and their allies took up their position on an eminence at a defile of the upper forge of the plain, where they had a good view of the enemy coming. Colonel Donald Murchison advised them to keep themselves concealed till General Wightman would come into the pass, where he might be surrounded. But when they came near the Place where the Highlanders were ensconced one Donald MacLennan who was of a fiery temper fired his musket and killed a Dutch Colonel, hence the saying "The Dutch Colonel fell should be worth his weight in gold. " General Wightman was in the snare and the Highlanders commenced at once to pour down furious volleys upon him, by which many of his men fell and others threw their arms into a linn or Pool in the river and fled. There were none of the Highlanders killed in this skirmish excepting one Finlay MacRae. The Earl of Seaforth was wounded in the knee from a musket ball and the Highlanders seeing no chance of a successful issue in consequence of MacKenzie being badly wounded, and he himself giving no encouragement, dispersed during the night among the mountains and the Spaniards on the following day surrendered prisoners of war. After the skirmish General Wightman went a-foraging through Kintail and committed sacrilege by burning the Church of Kintail.

He married Mary Macrae Of Inverinate, daughter of Farquhar Macrae and Anne Mackenzie. Notes for Murdoch Macrae Of Morvich: In 1721 the commissioners Factors sent officers to the district, who assured the Tenants of good usage if they would yield. This they sternly resented by abusing the officers. The factor endeavored to retaliate by raising his own tenants or servants, and a considerable number of soldiers at Inverness to enforce his claim by force of arms, The commissioners' Factor held a court in Strathglass in which some people made a verbal promise of submission. Their next course was to march west to Kintail through Glen Affaric, but the undaunted Kintail and Lochalsh men headed by Colonel Donald Murchison, being informed of them, he (the Colonel) met them with sixty sturdy men at " Beulath nam Muileach i.e. the Mullmens' fords." Beyond this at the gorge of the mountain stream which empties into Loch Affaric they concealed themselves in the heather intending to surround the troops which could not come up the pass but two abreast. Here should be mentioned lay the Colonel and the best of his few followers. Others stationed themselves on Toman a Bheatha i.e. bird hillock. The main body of the Royalists made a halt at a long distance and then moved slowly forward, young Walter Munro at their head, equipped in a scarlet cloak and riding a white steed. Whenever the Kintail man noticed him they considered him to be one of the commissioners and Malcolm MacRae and Donald Dearg MacLennan from Morvich scrambled down through a rocky burn where they took good aim and both let go the contents of their muskets by which lovely Walter fell, mortally wounded. After the young leader was shot Munro's party fled, himself taken prisoner. In this skirmish he found himself confronted with Colonel Donald Murchison who made him deliver the Commission he had from King George, besides to swear fealty and that he would not act further as Factor. Munro implored as a favour of Murchison to got a party to convey his wounded son till they should overtake the fleeing troops. To this request the noble Colonel acceded with his wonted generosity. A litter was constructed the best way they could of birch poles tied together with withes, and broom and heather laidover it. On this the young wounded man was placed and they retraced their steps to Beauly. The gallant convoy performed their duty with fidility and fortitude until they came near Knockfin. Few or none of them could understand English except Murdoch MacRae from Morvich in Kintail: he discerned from their conversation that when they got into the level country they would decoy them into an ambush and 17 kill them, but when they came to Knockfin in the heights of Strathglass, they returned in consequence of MacRea's remonstrances.

She married Murdoch Macrae Of Morvich, son of Farquhar Macrae and Margaret Macrae. Notes for Murdoch Macrae Of Morvich: In 1721 the commissioners Factors sent officers to the district, who assured the Tenants of good usage if they would yield. This they sternly resented by abusing the officers. The factor endeavored to retaliate by raising his own tenants or servants, and a considerable number of soldiers at Inverness to enforce his claim by force of arms, The commissioners' Factor held a court in Strathglass in which some people made a verbal promise of submission. Their next course was to march west to Kintail through Glen Affaric, but the undaunted Kintail and Lochalsh men headed by Colonel Donald Murchison, being informed of them, he (the Colonel) met them with sixty sturdy men at " Beulath nam Muileach i.e. the Mullmens' fords." Beyond this at the gorge of the mountain stream which empties into Loch Affaric they concealed themselves in the heather intending to surround the troops which could not come up the pass but two abreast. Here should be mentioned lay the Colonel and the best of his few followers. Others stationed themselves on Toman a Bheatha i.e. bird hillock. The main body of the Royalists made a halt at a long distance and then moved slowly forward, young Walter Munro at their head, equipped in a scarlet cloak and riding a white steed. Whenever the Kintail man noticed him they considered him to be one of the commissioners and Malcolm MacRae and Donald Dearg MacLennan from Morvich scrambled down through a rocky burn where they took good aim and both let go the contents of their muskets by which lovely Walter fell, mortally wounded. After the young leader was shot Munro's party fled, himself taken prisoner. In this skirmish he found himself confronted with Colonel Donald Murchison who made him deliver the Commission he had from King George, besides to swear fealty and that he would not act further as Factor. Munro implored as a favour of Murchison to got a party to convey his wounded son till they should overtake the fleeing troops. To this request the noble Colonel acceded with his wonted generosity. A litter was constructed the best way they could of birch poles tied together with withes, and broom and heather laidover it. On this the young wounded man was placed and they retraced their steps to Beauly. The gallant convoy performed their duty with fidility and fortitude until they came near Knockfin. Few or none of them could understand English except Murdoch MacRae from Morvich in Kintail: he discerned from their conversation that when they got into the level country they would decoy them into an ambush and kill them, but when they came to Knockfin in the heights of Strathglass, they returned in consequence of MacRea's remonstrances. (DM) Children of Mary Macrae and Murdoch Macrae are: 227 i. John 'Ian Mac Mhurachaidh' 'The Poet'15 Macrae, born Abt. 1720; died Abt. 1800. He married Christina Macrae Of Torlysich. Notes for John 'Ian Mac Mhurachaidh' 'The Poet' Macrae: Emigrated to America c. 1770. When the war of Independence broke out, he cast his lot with the Loyalists, whose cause soon became the losing one, and, after sharing in the hardships and defeat of the British armies, he at last perished a fugitive among the primeval woods. During the time of his adversity in America, he composed several songs, which were brought back to Kintail, and in which he expresses with much beauty and pathos the yearning of his soul to return to the scenes and the friends of happier days. He married before he left Kintail. It is doubtful who his wife was, but the tradition in Kintail is that she was Christina Macrae, daughter of Alexander Roy of the Torlysich family. He had three sons, Charles, Murdoch, and Donald. He also had a daughter whom he left behind him a child in Kintail, and who afterwards married Finlay Macrae, who was schoolmaster at Fadoch, in Kintail, a grandson of the Rev. Finlay Macrae, with issue. HCM, The 'Kintail Poet.' 228 ii. dau. ? Macrae of Morvich. She married Murdoch Murchison of Beolary. Notes for Murdoch Murchison of Beolary: 21 Simon left a son Mr. Murdoch Murchison factor to MacLeod who lived in Glenelg a gentleman well known in many parts of Scotland. When Doctor Samuel Johnson and Mr. James Boswell on their Highland tour in 1773 the Doctor says:-Having surmounted the hill (of Ratagan) at last we were told that at Glenelg on the sea side we should come to a house of lime, slate and glass. This image of magnificence raised our expectation; at last we came to our Inn weary and peevish and began to enquire for meat and beds, of the provisions the negative catalogue was very copious: but however we had a very eminent proof of Highland hospitality; along some miles of the way in the evening a gentleman's servant had kept us company on foot with very little notice on our part. He left us at Glenelg and we thought of him no more till he came to us again in about two hours with a present of Rum and sugar from his master. The man had mentioned his company and the gentleman, well knowing the penury of the place, had thus his attention drawn to two man whose names perhaps he had not heard by whom his kindness was not likely to be ever repaid, and who could be recommended to him only by their necessities." This gentleman, according to Mr. James Boswell, was none else than Mr. Murdoch Murchison of Beolary, Glenelg and factor to the laird of MacLeod. (DM) 161.

He was born in 1706. He married "Christina Macleod, youngest lawful daughter of William Macleod of Hammir," great-grandson of Rory Mor, XIII of Dunvegan. The marriage contract is dated 26th December 1744, and was written by Roderick Macdonald, writer in Skye. The witnesses were William Macleod, son of William macLeod of Hammir; Mr. James Macdonald, Itinerant Preacher in the Isle of Skye. Mackenzie, in his "History of the Macleods," is in error when he states (page 263), that it was Margaret Macleod who married Donald Macleod of Arnisdale. It was Christina, as stated above. William Macleod of Hammir had other daughters not mentioned by Mackenzie, vix.: -- Elizabeth, who died before 8th October 1759; Mary, and Sybella, who was married to Norman Macleod of Glenfunery. In 1744, Donald Macleod of Arnisdale received from the Laird of Macleod, "in tack", "The Touns and Lands of Sandaigg, Clambuell, and Achdadyle, with houses, beggings, grasseings, sheillings, etc., all Lyeing within the Barrony of Glenelg and Sheriffdome of Inverness." In the following year (11th May), the Laird of Macleod (Norman, 19th Chief), appointed Donald Macleod as "Baillie of the Lands and Barrony of Glenelg . . . with full power to Fence hold fix and affirm and Continue Courts at the town of Kirktown or upon any other part of the said Lands most convenient for administrating Justice to the Inhabitants thereof and others as oft as the same shall be needful." Donald Macleod died in October 1793, and is buried in the Churchyard in Glenelg. His

27 widow died in May, 1799, aged 80 years, and is also buried in Glenelg. A tablet to their memory was erected in the Parish Church of Glenelg, with the following inscription: -- SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF DONALD MACLEOD OF ARNISDALE WHO DIED OCT. 1793, AGED 87 YEARS. ALSO TO THE MEMORY OF CHRISTINA MACLEOD WHO DIED MAY 1799, AGED 80 YEARS. THIS MONUMENT IS ERECTED BY THE SURVIVING SONS AS A SLIGHT TESTIMONY OF THEIR AFFECTION. Donald Macleod, 11th of Arnisdale, was succeeded by his eldest son in the representation of the family.

LAM (Feb 12, 1998) More About Mary Matheson: Christening: September 04, 1775, Urquhart and Logie Wester, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland Notes for John Macrae: A Ross-shire family which played an important part in the settlement of Rustico, PEI, Canada was that of John Macrae and his family of ten. John Macrae and his wife Mary (Matheson) and their family left their home in Rosshire, Scotland, taking passage in an emigrant ship bound for Montreal, intending to go to Glengarry, Ontario where friends had preceded them. The ship [Good Intents?] encountered stormy weather, and their voyage across the Atlantic lasted seven weeks. For some reason the Captain put in to Pictou, Nova Scotia. The Macraes were so sick of the horrors of the long sea voyage, that they landed there and found their way to Prince Edward Island. They settled on a farm at the head of Wheatley River, the place known of late years as the Winsloe Farm; but at that time it was in the virgin wilderness and a considerable distance from the Mathesons, whose neighbors they had been in the old land. A few years later, a young man named Kenneth Mackenzie came on a visit to the Matheson family, who were relatives. His intention had been to return to Scotland when his visit was over; but instead of doing so, he married a daughter of John Macrae (Eliza Macrae), and took a farm near him. He (Kenneth) died while comparatively young man, leaving a family of eight. His descendants are now scattered, some still living in the Island, some in other parts of Canada, and others in the United States. About this time (1820) occurred a very sad event. Alexander Ross, with a daughter of John Macrae went on horseback to Charlottetown to be married. They were accompanied by a party of friends. On the return journey a violent rainstorm came up; and, owing to the long exposure, and the laborious travelling, the bride became ill, and died the next day. Source: D.
