History of Clan McIntosh
Probably the
earliest authentic history of Mackintosh is traceable to Shaw or
Seach MacDuff, a Cadet son of the third Earl of Fife. The son of
MacDuff, for his support of Malcom IV, was awarded the lands of
Petty and Breachley in Invernesshire and was appointed Constable
of the Castle thereto. Assuming the name "Mac-an-toisch",
which means "Son of the Thane or Chief", he began his
own Clan. The Clan support of James I in 1429 resulted in large
tracts of land being settled on the Mackintoshes. Clan Mackintosh
was involved in the "Battle of the Thirty", a mass trial
by combat, which was held under the judicial control of the King
in 1396 on the North Inch of Perth, in which Clan Macintosh
regained all lands taken from the Shaws
Surviving
records show the earliest recording of the name MacKIntosh to be
in Moray,part of modern day
Grampian, where the clan had been established for many
years. In 1155 this clan
was a part of King Malcolm Ceanmore's army against the rebels in
Moray
