- Hunter McKay and Chris Mackie discuss the origins and current use of the Clan Badge of the Mackay. This video primarily talks about the origins and early use of badges throughout Britain.
My 7th great grandfather is Capt. James MacKay of Scotland and Strathy Hall, Georgia.
Fascinating! Can't wait for the next part.
Another decent video. And this one gave me some new knowledge and info regarding the clan badge. Looking forward to part 2!
Thank for your clear and concise presentation
Very nice and informative! Thank you.
Clan Mackay comes from Strathnaver in Sutherland, I know as I am a Mackay
I am Scottish (Born and Raised) and my dad thought his mum had a French surname but it turns out her surname was indeed Scottish, I traced her surname back to my great, great, great, great grandparents, it was a marriage of Clan Mackie and Clan Maclauchlan (Maclachlan). LOL and here was me thinking I had french Great Grandparents, I am as Scottish as a short bread tin or a Highland Coo LOL.
I love this! I’m a Mckay, even though I’m called smith on here, lol
We are glad you love the videos!
Bullrush is also, or at least was, common in Western Canada.
Traditionally Mackay once emigrated changed there nane to Mackie or McKay but where originally from clan Mackay in strathnaver, Sutherland, Scotland, proven fighting highlanders, I know as I’m one
My MacKay family didn't change their name.
Did McCoy come from MacKay?
Very good question. I think we should do a video explaining different spellings of the name. In short, yes it did, as well as McGee, Mackie, McKay, and so on. I’m not sure if there are Irish McCoys however. But I do know that McCoy is a branch of The Mackay, at least those in the Highlands of Scotland.
@@clanmackaysocietyofscotlan1311 that would be very helpful! I'm looking forward to watching it
Hello i have last name Mackay. i would like to know more of the origin of Mackay, cheers. im from Chile
Wonderful to hear from you! I think this would be an excellent video to produce. We will work on it.
hello brothers, manu forti!
Manu Forti! Welcome to the channel!
I'm from like the 5th child of the second marriage of one of the first Mackay lords. lol, he had about 12 kids.
That is wonderful! What was his name?
@@clanmackaysocietyofscotlan1311 I just re-checked and it was the 1st Lord Raey, Sir Donald Mackay. 1590AD They had loads of children back then so I'd say we're probably all related at some stage to a clan chief.
@@Power_Prawnstar That is really cool! Sir Donald Mackay was an adventurer and daring individual.
@@clanmackaysocietyofscotlan1311 I've always been interested in how the Mackay's actually lost our land? An old family story is that the clan chief was an alcoholic who got into debt and sold it all to the Sutherlands? Is there any truth to this?
@@Power_Prawnstar I cannot confirm the alcoholism, but the last of the land was sold to the Sutherlands in the 1800s. This may have to be a video someday.
Romans tried and Germans as well but did not succeed
