Clan MacLeod

Hold Fast

Clan MacLeod traces its descent to Leod, who was born around 1200 and is traditionally given as a son of Olave the Black, whose brother Magnus was the last king of Man and the Isles. The clan split early into two branches, Siol Tormod or Sìol Tormoid (the MacLeods of Harris and Dunvegan) and Siol Torquil or Sìol Torcaill (the MacLeods of the Lewes), with the chiefly seat at Dunvegan Castle on Skye.
