MacDonald Clan and its history

The MacDonald Clan is one of the largest Scottish clans. With its origin in the western Highlands, the clan's Gaelic name, "Clann Domhnaill," translates to "Children of Donald".


Throughout the centuries, the MacDonalds played pivotal roles in Scottish history. They were known as warriors and landholders and respected for their strength, resilience, and territorial influence over major territories in the Highlands and Isles.

The clan's motto is: PER MARE PER TERRAS which translates to "By Sea and by Land".

The MacDonalds were involved in the Jacobite uprisings. The infamous Massacre of Glencoe in 1692, where members of the clan were betrayed and slaughtered, remains until these days a dark chapter in their history.

The MacDonald tartan, characterized by its red and black pattern, is a symbol of their heritage and can be found in various forms.
