Clan MacKintosh - Clann An Toisich Clan Chief John Mackintosh of MackIntosh Shaw Macduff, son of the Earl of Fife, was appointed Keeper of the Royal Castle of Inverness around 1163 and received lands at Petty and in Strathdearn. He took the name Mac an Toiseach – the son of the Thane (a noble acting as an official of the Crown). The connection with Clan Chattan began in 1291 through the marriage of Eva and Angus and, for almost 650 years, the Chief of Clan Mackintosh was also Captain of Clan Chattan. |

In 1938, the Chief died without direct male heir and the Lord Lyon held that the chiefship of Clan Chattan had become separated from that of Mackintosh. The Mackintosh territory at one time extended into Lochaber and Badenoch, but for centuries it has had a close association with the town of Inverness, whose southern approaches the clan dominated. |

The 30th Chief, Lachlan Mackintosh of Mackintosh, lived at Moy, which had been acquired by William, 7th Chief of Mackintosh, in 1336. He died in December 1995 and was succeeded by his son John, currently a teacher in Singapore. Septs Adamson, Ayson, Aysons of N.Z.
