Clan Chattan (Scottish Gaelic: Na Catanaich or Clann Chatain)[5] is a unique confederation of Highland clans.[6] This distinctive allied community[7] comprised at its greatest extent seventeen separate clans (currently twelve),[8] who each had their own clan chief recognized under Scottish law, but were further united and bound to the superior chief of the Confederation for mutual solidarity, sustenance and protection in the Middle Ages and early modern period in the Great Glen and Cairngorms. A tribal coalition of this magnitude was a source of apprehension to both the Lord of the Isles and the Kings of Scots and records exist of machinations to "crying doon the Clan Chattan" by formenting internal dissension.[9]

Origins and early history

[edit]

There are multiple theories about the true origins of this clan:

In the time of Malcolm II of Scotland the Clan Chattan possessed the lands of Glen Loy and Loch Arkaig.[6] It was here that Tor Castle became the clan chief's seat.[6] Not much is certain about the history of the clan until towards the end of the 13th century.[6]

The merging of the Chattan and Mackintosh clans

[edit]

Eva, (most probably incorrectly anglicized from Aife), daughter and heiress of Gilpatric or Dougal Dall, 6th chief of Clan Chattan in Lochaber, married Angus Mackintosh, 6th chief of Clan Mackintosh, in 1291.[6] Thus Angus Mackintosh also became 7th chief of Clan Chattan.[11] Some members of alternative male inheritance lines have however questioned the validity of this decision through a female line which would lead to occasional discord. Neither side of this dispute have questioned the historicity of Aoife, merely the inheritance line.

Migration out of Lochaber

[edit]

The couple resided at Tor Castle before withdrawing to Rothiemurchus apparently due to the enmity of Aonghus Óg of Islay, chief of Clan Donald, the uncle of Angus Mackintosh. Tradition has it that he had intended to marry Eva off to one of his family members and in so doing acquire the Clan Chattan lands.[12] [6] As a result, the lands at Arkaig were occupied by Clan Cameron who claimed that they had been abandoned.[6] This was the beginning of a long and bitter feud that was fought between the Clan Chattan and Clan Cameron until 1666.[6]

Another reason for the migration is explained in MacPherson clan traditions is that in 1309, Robert the Bruce offered the lands of Badenoch to them if they destroyed the Bruce's enemies, the Clan Comyn.[13]

Earliest written documents

[edit]

The earliest official document, the MS 1467 which recognises the Clan Chattan is dated 1467; but the chronicler Bower, writing about 1440, speaks of Clan Chattan in 1429. Bellenden, in his translation of Boece, about 1525, is the first who mentions this clan having been at the Inches in Perth in 1396, and this probably owing to a misprint in the original, of Clan Quhete for Quhele'. He referred to it as Quhattan.[14]

From singular clan to Confederation

[edit]

Prior to the 14th century, the Clan Chattan was a conventional clan.[6] However it evolved into an alliance or confederation of at least seventeen clans which was made up of:

  • thirdly of families who were not originally related by blood (Clan MacGillivray who took protection around 1268,[19] Clan Tearlach/the Macleans of Dochgarroch ,[20] the Clan Revan/MacQueens of Strathdearn and the Clan Inteir/MacIntyres of Badenoch). Other lesser known clans are also recorded:
    • The Vic Gories, who took protection around 1369.[21]
    • The Dhus of Strathnairn, who took protection around 1373.[22]
    • Clan Slioch Gow Chruim/The Gows or Smiths, who took protection around 1399.[23]
    • Clan Clerich/The Clarks, who took protection around 1400.[24]
    • Clan Tarril, the Kinrara MS also states, " In the time of Lachlan (8th of Mackintosh, who died in 1407), a small clan from Strathnairn settled in Petty, becoming followers of Mackintosh." Within two generations however, their status changed. Gillespie, a brother of the Earl of Ross, entered Petty with reivers driving off cattle and inhabitants. The invaders were surprised at Culloden by Duncan and two other sons of Malcolm Mackintosh, who recovered the stolen goods, but were too late for Clan Tarril, nearly all of whom were slain.[25]
    • The Sliochd Gillie vor MacAonas who took protection around 1485.[22]
    • The Finlay Cheir who took protection around 1502.[26] and
    • 'Clan an t-Saoir', Clan Andrish or the MacAndrews ('Clan Gillandrish').[27][6] The Kinrara MS states a Donald MacGillandris, was part of a bridal retinue of Mora MacDonald of Moydart, future wife of the 10th Chief of Mackintosh. Settled at Connage in Petty. This family is mentioned in a royal summons for the “Maisterfull spoliatioun’’ of Halhill in 1513 with Dougal Mor Mackintosh.[28]

The Skene assumption

[edit]

William Forbes Skene, however, gave a different version of how Clan Chattan was formed prior to the Mackintosh alliance.[29] Clan Vuirich (Clan MacPherson) and Clan Day (Clan Davidson) were the original co-founders and referred to as old Clan Chattan.[29] Added to these were six "stranger septs" who took protection from the clan.[29] These were Clan Vic Ghillevray (Clan MacGillivray), the Clan Vean (Clan MacBean), the Clan Vic Govies, the Clan Tarrel, the Clan Cheanduy, and the Sliochd Gowchruim or Smiths.[29]

However, Skene's phrase about "stranger septs" and the names linked to them is not supported by any of the works of the respected Clan Chattan historians,[30][31][32][33] and may therefore be a historical error by Skene, whose shortcomings have been noted by later writers – one of Skene's harshest critics was the Scottish philologist Alexander MacBain.

Sir Æneas Mackintosh/Charles-Fraser Mackintosh assumption

[edit]

Noted historian of Clan Chattan, Charles Fraser-Mackintosh, in his 'An Account of the Confederation of Clan Chattan; its kith and kin' (the work known as 'Minor Septs of Clan Chattan') published a list of 16 associated tribes of Clan Chattan, along with an associated date reference, as written down by Sir Æneas Mackintosh. It begins with The Clan vic Gillivray, 1271. The second clan is The Clan Wurrich (Macpherson), 1291 and the third is The Clan Vean (Macbeans), 1292; then the fourth is The Clan Day (Davidsons), 1350. Others follow including (No.9) The Clan Tearlich (Macleans of the North), 1400, (No.10) The Clan Revan (Macqueens), 1400 and (No.14) The Clan Phail (Macphails), 1500.[34]

In his 'The Mackintoshes and Clan Chattan' (1903), A. M. Mackintosh arranges his chapters to provide a history of Clan Chattan, its chiefs and its Mackintosh branches, then in Chapter XV details the 'Tribes and Families of Clan Chattan other than the Mackintoshes of Inverness-shire'.

  • He begins (page 405) with the heading 'Clans Springing from the Mackintoshes': the Shaws, the Farquharsons, the Mackintoshes of Dalmunzie, the McCombies and Clan Thomas.
  • Then A. M. Mackintosh comes to Part II of this chapter headed 'Clans Supposed to be of the Blood of the Old Clan Chattan' (i.e. not Mackintoshes, but members of Eva's family): the MacPhersons, the Cattanachs, the MacBeans and the MacPhails.
  • The author then covers in Part III of the same chapter, headed (page 496) 'Clans Not of the Blood of either MackIntoshes or Old Clan Chattan': the MacGillivrays, the Davidsons, the Macleans of Dochgarroch, Clan Tarril, the Smiths or Gows, the MacQueens or Clan Revan, Clan Andrish and the Clarks or Clan Chlerich.

The members today

[edit]

Today, the Clan Chattan Association, which is based in Scotland with members across the world, comprises the following twelve principal clans:[35]

This is a general map of Clan Chattan lands at their greatest extent. This map also does not include any temporary Mackintosh lands in the Lochaber district.

Chiefs

[edit]

Old Chattan Chiefs

[edit]

The following is a list of the traditional chiefs of the Clan Chattan before marriage between Aife/Eva, heiress of Clan Chattan, with the Chief of Clan Mackintosh, through whose marriage a new line of Mackintosh Captains (Chiefs) of Clan Chattan was created :[11]

No. Name
1 Gillicattan Mor, first known chief of Clan Chattan
2 Diarmid
3 Gillicattan,
4 Muirach, father of Gillicattan, and Ewan Ban, father of the 3 branches of Clan Macpherson
5 Gillicattan
6 Dougal or Gilpatric, his daughter married Angus Mackintosh, 6th chief of Clan Mackintosh, thus Mackintosh became 7th chief of Clan Chattan.

Thereafter the Chiefs of Clan Mackintosh are also the Chiefs of Clan Chattan. See: Chiefs of Clan Mackintosh.

The Chattan Confederation Chiefs

[edit]
Tree showing the ancestries and merging of Clans Chattan and MacKintosh, forming the early Confederation. Based on the recorded genealogies of clans Macpherson, Davidson and Mackintosh (click to enlarge).

Each Clan in the Confederation retained their chiefs, but acknowledged the Mackintosh chief as the overall Captain of the Confederation.

Arms of all the Clan Chiefs in the Clan Chattan Confederation

The separation of titles

[edit]

In 1942, the Lyon Court separated the leadership of Clan MacKintosh and Clan Chattan. The leadership of Clan Chattan passed to the Mackintosh of Torcastle line. The Chief of Clan Mackintosh had been at the same time Captain of Clan Chattan, until the death of Alfred Donald Mackintosh of Mackintosh CBE, who chose as his heir to the Mackintosh inheritance Rear-Admiral Lachlan Donald Makintosh CB DSO DSC. The omission of a stipulation in Alfred's will, concerning inheritance of the captaincy of Clan Chattan, led The Lord Lyon of the day to create the historic separation of the two titles. Lachlan became The Mackintosh of Mackintosh, and his cousin Duncan Alexander Eliott Mackintosh became Mackintosh of Mackintosh-Torcastle, and Head of the hail kin of Clan Chattan.[36] At this juncture the chieftainship of Mackintosh and Clan Chattan split.

The last few Clan Chattan Confederation chiefs therefore were:

  • Duncan Alexander Eliott Mackintosh of Mackintosh-Torcastle, born 1 December 1884 and died 29 May 1966. He married Ellen Primrose Smith and they had three sons and two daughters.
  • Kenneth Mackintosh, born 23 November 1916, who became the 32nd Chief of Clan Chattan. He married Margaret Farmer and had two children.
  • Duncan Alexander John Mackintosh, born in 1946, according to Burke's Peerage.
  • However, a genealogy published in an updated history of the Clan Mackintosh noted that Duncan died young, and that his younger brother Malcolm Mackintosh (born 20 October 1950) succeeded their father, who died in 1976, as 33rd Chief of Clan Chattan, becoming styled as Malcolm Mackintosh of Mackintosh-Torcastle and Clan Chattan.[37][38]

Clan Mackintosh therefore remains the principal clan of the Clan Chattan Confederation and the current and past Mackintosh of Mackintosh has been President of the Clan Chattan Association.

Battles, Skirmishes and Raids

[edit]

Clan Chattan as a whole or as individual clans were involved in the following events:

Gathering the Confederation for Battle

[edit]

No single gathering point is known to exist for the entire Confederation to have ever used, but several other gathering points have been identified:

  • Clach An Airm in Strathnairn: Known gathering point of the MacGillivrays to organise and sharpen weapons.[64][65]
  • Clach na Coileach: Meeting place in the MacThomas lands.
  • Carn na Cuimhe beside the river Dee, east of Invercauld: Known gathering point of the Farquharsons. A fire cross was said to have been sent around the clan lands by runners to notify fighting men to gather.[66]
  • Creag Dhu: Known gathering point of the Macphersons, a rocky hill near Cluny Castle in times of emergency.
  • Dunlichity Church: Known gathering point of the Mackintosh and nearby MacPhails with evidence of the stone walls being used to sharpen swords.[67]

Confederation Agreements

[edit]

The list below shows some of the more important agreements of the Confederation in terms of Bands of union, friendship, maintenance and manrent.

1397 Band Of Union

[edit]

The Chattan Confederation‟s first band may have been created in 1397 after the Battle of the North Inch, but it only lasted 14 years until 1411 when Clan MacPherson decided to take a different stand than the rest of the Chattan Confederation in regional politics.[47]

1543 Band of Union

[edit]

Signed at Inverness by most of the tribes of Clan Chattan in reaction mainly to threats on their lands in Rothiemurchus by Clan Grant. Lachlan Mackintosh of Mackintosh wrote to the Chief of Clan Grant that he wanted to repurchase his "own native country of Rothiemurchus", but was ignored. Mackintosh then threatened to raise the tribes of Clan Chattan against him.[68][69]

1609 Band of Union

[edit]

After the death of Mackintosh of Dunnachten in 1606, the Mackintoshes made an effort to reunite the clan and bring to an end the "controversies, questions, debates and hosts, that has fallen furth betwixt the said haill kin of Clan Chattan these times bygone, whereupon there followed groat incanvanisnciss" The Chattan Confederation came together at Termit about five miles from Inverness in 1609 to sign a new Band.[70][71]

1664 Band of Union

[edit]

Renewal of the 1609 Band, signed at Kincairne, but with an additional clause of action against Ewan Cameron in response to a Royal Commission seeing the Camerons as rebels at that point.[72]

1756 Band of Union (Deed of Consent)

[edit]

The MacBeans of Faillie ventured into land holdings but had developed a huge debt. As the MacBean's estate was not enough to pay off the debt, these lands fell under control of the court. The whole debt, with interests and costs, then fell onto the wider Clan Chattan. The burden, however, was still too heavy, and the estate was of little use to the MacBeans after 1744. By 1756 William MacBean consented to MacKintosh's reclaiming the Laggau lands, signing a deed of consent. This deed was also signed by other leaders of Clan Chattan, such as Alexander MacPhail of Inverernie, Robert MacKintosh, Tacksman of Termite, William MacKintosh of Aberarder, William MacKintosh of Holme and John MacKintosh of Calclachie. These heads of Clan Chattan signed this agreement at Gask, in Strathnairn, on the 27th October, 1756, in presence of Donald MacBean and Alexander Fraser, farmer in the Mains of Tordarroch. This document is peculiarly interesting in respect that it is dated several years after the Heritable Jurisdictions (Scotland) Act 1746 came into effect, which abolished such agreements and the powers of clan chiefs.[73]

2009 Band of Union

[edit]

To celebrate the 400th anniversary of the 1609 Clan Chattan Band of Union, a new Band of Union was signed in 2009 to renew the clans historic connection.[74][75]

Other Agreements

[edit]
  • 1467: Friendship with Lord Forbes and others, on the one part; and Duncan Macintosh, of Clan Chattan, Hugh Rose of Kilravock and others, on the other part.
  • 1481: Maintenance between Farquhar Macintosh, son and apparent heir of Duncan Macintosh, of Clan Chattan, to Hugh Rose of Kilravock.[76]
  • 1490: Manrent and marriage between Duncan Mackintosh to Cawdor.[77][78]
  • 1527: Friendship between Hector Mackintosh of Mackintosh and Hector Munro of Foulis, Chief of Clan Munro; John Campbell of Cawdor, Hugh Rose of Kilravock, Chief of Clan Rose; and "Donald Ilis of Sleat".[79]
  • 1549: Friendship between William Mackintosh of Dunachton and Earl John of Sutherland.[80]
  • 1568: Friendship between Lachlan Mackintosh and Earl of Huntly as his superior and confirmation of control of the lands of Benchar, Clune, Kincraig, Schiphin, Essich, Bochrubin, Dundelchat and Tordarroch.[81]
  • 1588: Friendship with William Macleod of Macleod, 13th chief of Clan Macleod.[82]
  • 1589: Bond agreement between Mackintosh and MacDonald of Keppoch that he would pay 2000 pounds for rent in his lands.[83]
  • 1590: Friendship and protection between clans Mackintosh and Grant of Freuchy and against aggressive Earls.[84]
  • 1591: Manrent between MacPherson and the Earl of Huntly signed at Huntly Castle.
  • 1593: Manrent between Mackintosh of Dunnachten and the Earl of Moray.[85]
  • 1595: Manrent between Clan Farquharson and Clan Chattan and acknowledgement of the Chief of the Mackintosh as their superior chief.[86][87]
  • 1609: Manrent between Donald MacQueen of Corrybrough and the chiefs of Clan Chattan.[88]

Internal and external disputes that affected the unity of the Confederation

[edit]

Internal disputes

[edit]
  • Between clans MacPherson and Davidson as to which clan would form on the right wing of the Confederation Chief in battle in 1370.[89]
  • Between clans Mackintosh and MacPherson over the hereditary leadership of the Clan Chattan Confederation and sealing a separate agreement of manrent with the Earl of Huntly in 1591. In 1672, Duncan MacPherson of Cluny applied for and obtained from Lord Lyon the matriculation of arms as "the laird of Cluny MacPherson as the only true representer of the ancient and honorable family of Clan Chattan". However, the Chief of MacIntosh at that time successfully sued a reduction and Lyon apparently charged Cluny with adding supporters which had not been really granted in the text of the parchment. MacIntosh was thus upheld as the Chief of Clan Chattan.[90]
  • Between clans Mackintosh and MacPherson over the construction of a mill in the same river as that of the existing MacPherson one. This argument led to the Mackintoshes asking the Grants to assist them in the fight to which they refused and the MacPhersons pulling down the incomplete structure.[91]
  • Between clans Shaw and Farquharson: a fight between a party from Rothimurcus and Finla Mor Farquharson and his followers over a claim made by Shaws to the lands of Invercauld.[92]
  • Between clans MacPhail with Shaw over debt owed to clan MacGillivray for land speculation in 1662.[93]
  • Between clans Farquharson and MacThomas over disputed grazing rights in upper Glenisla around 1673.[94]

It is not clear if the Confederation had a formal dispute resolution process for internal disputes. There is however a recorded agreement dated 4 June 1726, appointing Macgillivray of Dunmaglass arbiter between Lachlan, 20th chief of Mackintosh, and Lachlan Macpherson of Cluny, in any disputes that might arise in the carrying out of an agreement made between the two at Moy Hall on 15 September 1724.[95]

External disputes

[edit]

Throughout the 16th Century, the Clan Chattan Confederation was caught up in the machinations of the Earls of Mar, Moray and Huntly, particularly George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly, mainly to use parts of the clan in their respective earldoms in disputes between themselves. This led to external attempts to divide the various tribes of Clan Chattan by undermining known internal disputes.[96][97]

James Stuart, 3rd Earl of Moray tried to take back lands in Pettie and Strathern from Clan Chattan his father, James Stewart, 2nd Earl of Moray had gifted them for loyal support. This then resulted in an insurrection against the Earl. The Earl then issued at letter of intercommuning against the Clan Chattan, preventing anyone from assisting or harboring clan members under severe penalty. The matter was resolved after large fines were paid and several clan members executed. Details of this issue was recorded by John Spalding, a noted historian of the era.[98][99]

Clan Chattan lands affected by expanding Earldoms circa 17th century

Highland Clearances

[edit]

The Badenoch Land clearances of 1797, affected the township of Biallid Beag, the location of a ancient Macpherson/Macintyre cemetery, St. Patricks. [100]

From Confederation to Association

[edit]

The activities of the Clan are carried on by the Clan Chattan Association, a descendant of the original association established in 1727 for the purpose of defending the interests of the clan "against all who would seek the injury of any of its subscribers".[101]

In the nineteenth century, many clan societies and associations emerged, with the aim of promoting social interaction between people linked by a common name, and interest in their clan's history. Among these was the second Clan Chattan Association, founded in Glasgow in 1893. Initial support for the association was strong with the meetings, lectures and dances described as "a brilliant success", but it faded out by about 1900. Even so, clan historians of that period produced several works which are still used today.[101]

In the summer of 1933, the third Clan Chattan Association was founded in London. Now based in Scotland, the association has worldwide membership. It organizes a number of activities, such as the annual events in early August at Moy Hall in conjunction with the Highland Field Sports Fair. Members are kept informed of events through the annual journal of the association.[101]

Modern Council of Clan Chattan Association

[edit]

The council of Clan Chattan Association comprises eight Chiefs, who represent all of the individual clans, as president and Vice Presidents:[102]

  • John Mackintosh of Mackintosh (President)
  • Philip Farquharson (Vice President)
  • James Brodie Macpherson of Cluny (Vice President)
  • Iain Shaw of Tordarroch (Vice President)
  • Richard McBain of McBain (Vice President)
  • Grant Guthrie Davidson of Davidston (Vice President)
  • Andrew MacThomas of Finegand (Vice President)
  • The Very Reverend Allan MacLean of Dochgarroch (Vice President)

Of the remaining clans of the Chattan Confederation:

  • Clan MacGillivray has a clan Commander but no claimant to the chiefship.
  • Clan MacPhail's last reported chief died in Australia in the early 1900s[103] The clan has however started a process to select a Commander.[104]
  • Clan MacQueen's chiefly line moved to New Zealand and although descendants remain, there has been no claimant to the chiefship.

Clan Profile

[edit]
  • The correct pronunciation of Chattan is Hattan. The "C" is silent. The "H" is slightly guttural.
  • Pipe music: Gathering of Clan Chattan /Cruinneachadh Chloinn Chatain[105]
Image Notes
Clan Chief's Coat of Arms:
  • Left upper quadrant: A Rampant Lion used to denote the relation to ancient royalty.
  • Right upper quadrant: A bloody hand holding a heart is believed to be an allusion to the heart of Robert the Bruce and thus intended to express the clan's loyalty to him. The description of this quarter in the shield is officially given in the 1947 Matriculation with the wording: 2nd, argent, a dexter hand couped fessways holding a heart in pale Gules, a label Azure in chief charged with three 'bulls' heads cabossed of the first for difference (for Mackintosh). By comparison, the description of this quarter in the 1947 Matriculation of the Chief of Clan Mackintosh is 2nd, argent, a dexter hand couped fessways grasping a heart paleways gules - i.e. no label.[106]
  • Left lower quadrant: A Boars Head | Depicts the clan connection to the House of Gordon through marriage, and
  • Right lower quadrant: An Azure (blue) Lymphad of pre-1947 may allude to the clan's connection with the Lord of the Isles.
  • At the centre, the Azure (blue) lymphad on a gold shield shown 'inescutcheon', along with a difference in the 2nd quarter of the main shield, distinguishes the arms as those of Mackintosh of Mackintosh-Torcastle, Chief of Clan Chattan, as opposed to those of Mackintosh of Mackintosh, Chief of Clan Mackintosh.[107][108]
* Crest badge: A cat salient, proper.
  • Clan's motto: Touch not the cat bot a glove[109][110] (The archaic spelling of 'catt', and the use of either 'but' or 'bot' are present in different sources in various combinations).
Clan Chattan tartan. Individual Clans of Clan Chattan each have their own tartans. There is however also a specific Clan Chattan tartan, formerly known as Mackintosh Chief, recognised by The Lord Lyon in 1938.[111] James Logan, author of the Scottish Gael[112] states that the Chief of the Clan Mackintosh, Sir Aeneas Mackintosh of that Ilk, acknowledged this sett as the Clan tartan in 1816. ('The Scottish Gael' 1831). It was also included in the recording of Arms by George C McChlery, Public Register of Arms and Bearings 44/66 on the 22 August 1960.[113]

In Folklore and Culture

[edit]
  • In a book of Scottish Songs, published in Edinburgh in 1791, there is a ballad entitled "Hardyknute" which contains the following:

"Syne he has gane far hynd attowre · Lord Chattan's land sae wyde That Lord a worthy wight was ay Quhen faes his courage seyd : Of Pictish race by mother's syde, Quhen Picts ruled Caledon, Lord Chattan claim'd the princely maid, Quhen he saift Pictish crown."[114]

  • The Fair Maid of Perth is an 1828 novel by Sir Walter Scott, one of the Waverley novels. Inspired by the strange, but historically true, story of the Battle of the North Inch,[115] it is set in Perth (known at the time as Saint John's Toun, i.e. John's Town) and other parts of Scotland around 1400.
  • The 1886 novel Kidnapped by author Robert Louis Stevenson details the Macpherson chief Ewen MacPherson of Cluny in the aftermath of the 1745 Jacobite rebellion.[116]
  • "The Curse of Moy" is a poem by Mr. Morrit of Rokeby, included in Scott's Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border. During the period 1704 and 1833 no Mackintosh Chief left a son to follow him, a circumstance known as "The Curse of Moy," with the result that the leadership of the clan passed from kinsman to kinsman.[117]

People who have had a huge influence on the Chattan Confederation

[edit]
  • Alexander MacGillivray of Dunmaglass: Commanded the Clan Chattan at Culloden. Known to be a fearsome warrior, standing some 6ft 5in tall;
  • Anne Mackintosh: Leader in the Jacobite Rising of 1745 who mustered the Clan Chattan Regiment;
  • Ewan MacPherson of Cluny: Leader in the Jacobite Rising of 1745;
