Aww, it cut before MacThomas got around.

Thank you. Interesting & informative as always. Looking forward to the AGM. Safe travels to all 🙏

This is so understandable, accessible and enjoyable! 😉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🐈‍⬛

It's illegal in France?! Wow!

Great interview. Thank you all very much!

Thanks for this well informed discussion. I’m a Smith with strong Y-DNA matches to the Macpherson Clan. I will be visiting North Inch within a couple of weeks and later to Strath Avon where Henry, the smith settled after the battle. Later I will visit the grave of another survivor, the leader of Clan Chattan, Shaw Mor.

Thank you Cindi & Philip for another enlightening history lesson. Looking forward to the next captivating episode.

Hi all Thank you both for the massive effort you put into this discussion. We really appreciate it! Do you have any information if the old Clan Chattan or the later Confederation not have a process/s to deal with internal disputes?

My great- grandfather was called Charles Allan McClean - His dad and family I assume went to Bristol Guiana.

Go Clan Chattan

Thank you once again. I truly enjoy Catts & Coffee 👍

Hey!! That is my Grandson Patrick!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🐈‍⬛🙂

that is a great history lesson!

Please accept my apologies - Finegand is pronounced, ‘Finn e gand’

You definitely qualify for Clan Chattan and we believe for Clan MacThomas as well as Clan Maclean. Please visit ClanChattan.org.UK - membership and links to the 12 clans can be found for the most part, on the Association’s site.

My 15th gr-grandfather on my mothers side is Thomas MacThomaidh 2nd Chief of Clan MacThomas about 1440. The surname changes to McComie around early 1600s and then to McCombs around 1700. My mother also has ancestral ties to the MacDougall of Dunollie and MacLean of Duart. Do I qualify for clan membership? How do I know which clan would be appropriate to apply to?

Love you sister

Great video. See you on the mountain!

We will see you there! MacThomas!

So exicted to see the announcement, I would love to go this year and see what is going on with the Clans, thanks for posting! Barry, I need that shirt, lol! Please post where we can find it! as of June 1st, patron and camping is sold out

Great job both you🎉

Thank you once again!

Thank you Cindi & David, I thoroughly enjoyed this interview.

I thought the McPherson were associated with the Fraser's

~ We would like to thank many on the council for the years and tireless efforts in making the Association's Coat of Arms, especially John Macfall, for the idea and countless others who worked tirelessly on this project. We are very grateful to have a talented team of volunteers who work tirelessly on many projects, some of which go on for years... PLEASE NOTE: The Association's website is - clanchattan.org.uk/

Thank you for your channel! Do you have any Finley or Farquharson content on your channel or in the works? My direct Finley line goes back to 1750 in America and stops abruptly, but I’d love to learn more about their lives prior to their arrival here. Many thanks from West Tennessee!

Very interesting insights from the "Macleans of the North" Chief Allan Maclean. I always feel that there is much of our Scottish history and family alliances being concealed. My grandmother Margaret "Peggy" Mclean was born in Anderston, Glasgow beside St Mungo's church. St Mungo was the Patron Saint of Glasgow & a disciple of St Columba on Islay the mother church of Celtic Spirituality in Scotland. We never manage to find out if she was from the Mcleans of Pitreavie Fife or Duart. Regan Walker has transferred her skills as a Corporate lawyer to writing historic accounts with a romantic slant much like Sir Walter Scott. Her Clan Donald Saga covers all of the organic history of the Lordship of the Isles and the Macleans as well as the Macleans of the North when the Lordship married into the Earl of Ross via Mariota Ross (Clan Leslie) who was the Duchess of Ross and inherited the Earldom of Ross when her brother the Earl of Ross's life was cut short by the ambitious Earl of Fife who was part of the Stewart's of Albany dynasty and who's bastard brother and son of Robert ll was harrying and pillaging all over the north of Scotland around Rosshire, Invernesshire, Moray, Banffshire etc. The Lordship became custodians of Rosshire via this marriage to Mariota Leslie, Countess of Ross and the Macleans of the north were gallowglass to the Lordship and were therefore appointed as Constables of Urquart castle to protect the great glen area from the Wolf of Badenoch and his caterans as well as other's. The Regan Walker books are really well written and well worth a read for anyone who has ancestry in the Lordship and the supporters of Robert the Bruce and Stewart's and her final book will conclude with Culloden and the forfeiture of the Lordship. www.reganwalkerauthor.com/clan-donald-saga.html As a Gibson who did his Big-Y dna throgh Clan Buchanan geneologist they are being quite cagey and there are no good records of the roots of the name in Galloway and the Camerons are a Clan that I found records of having used the name possible because Gibb is old Scots or Norse for cat. I was able to establish that I have Gibson family in Northern Ireland and America through my Dna profiling and the Dna results also confirmed I am 95% Scots/Irish and the name Gilbertson that Gibson originated from means Son of the servant of St Bride in our mother tongue of Gallic. That info was also confirmed in Regan Walkers books the Clan Donald Saga. It is a fascinating subject and even though you never get the results you assumed you always get interesting results with fascinating details of ancient history and culture. Slainte mhath!!

🥃 Slainte

Well done. Learnt a lot!

Excellent discussion! Loved it

Im excited to hear more about John Maclean and the battle for Nakatomi Plaza

Thank you, so much for this information. ❤ Strength with insight for the future.🌷🌷🌷

Absolutely essential and imperative to promote the Language: Language is Identity, the ears respond to heart and the soul, and keeps the spirit and the body alive! Essential..❤❤❤

Were there McDermotts at Culloden, Philip? We will be there on the 14th April ...❤❤❤

This has been such an exceptional podcast: so fascinating, so interesting anx informative too. We are going there this coming Sunday. I cannot wait, actually, especially after this excellent podcast. Truly, is INCREDIBLE! THANK YOU, both...❤❤❤❤

Thank you Cindi!! I am so obsessed with your show!! Thank you for the great information :) I am Clan MacBean in Orange County California and I am hungry to learn as much as I can about both my Scottish and Cherokee heritage. Like you always say it Is "Fascinating" Keep up the good work. It is valued by so many

Thanks guys. Really enjoyed your chat. Another dynamic to consider is that in the 13th century, the Mackintosh were aligned with the Macdonalds, Lords of the Isles, allies of Robert Bruce. Chattan was a vassal of the Macdougalls, Lords of Lorne, aligned to the Comyn. Macdougal made the Chattan the protectors of their Ardchattan Priory. Macdonald and Macdougall were the strongest clans in area and also feuding with each other. By Mackintosh marrying into the Chattan may have angered the Macdonalds. Overlay that with a national war in the region and you have recipe for the new Chattan/Mackintosh familiy wanting to leave Lochaber.

any idea if Clan Carruthers was represented

That’s my clan chief 🎉I love the idea of bringing all of us together ❤ These videos are very meaningful, interesting and so fun! Thank you for doing this! I am a clan member and still trying to solve the mystery of John Bean b.1790 who married Ruth Starr (great granddaughter of Nancy Ward The beloved women of the Cherokee) Any info from anyone is helpful. I know I’m not the only one looking 😊

I've always wondered if the killing was planned. I think it was. Bruce was ruthless and he needed Comyn out of the way.

thank you, this is wonderful!
