Clan MacInnes

Ghift Dhe Agus An Righ (By the grace of God and the King)

Clan MacInnes (Gaelic MacAonghais, 'son of Angus') is an ancient Celtic clan of the West Highlands and Hebrides. Its own society describes the MacInneses as early inhabitants of Islay, Jura and Kintyre, and as the original inhabitants of Morvern, Ardgour, Ardnamurchan and Lochaber, with Kinlochaline Castle in Morvern as the traditional seat of its chiefs. The chiefship has been dormant since the chief and his five sons were killed near Ardtornish about 1358, and the clan is represented today by Clan MacInnes International, formed as the Clan MacInnes Society in 1970.

Crest & Motto

Clan MacInnes Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan MacInnes is Ghift Dhe Agus An Righ (By the grace of God and the King). It appears on the Clan MacInnes crest badge: the chief’s heraldic crest set inside a strap and buckle that carries the motto.

In Scotland a crest belongs to the chief, not to everyone with the surname. Clan members may wear the crest badge, with the crest inside the strap and buckle, to show that they belong to the clan. The plain crest without the strap remains the chief’s own.
