Clan MacIntyre

Per Ardua (Through difficulties)

The name MacIntyre comes from the Gaelic Mac an t-Saoir: the ancestor Maurice was known as the 'wright or carpenter', and his son was the first to be called MacIntyre, 'Son of The Wright'. Tradition makes Maurice a nephew of Somerled, King of Argyll and the Western Isles. The family settled in Glen Noe by Ben Cruachan on Loch Etiveside and were foresters to the Lord of Lorn from the end of the thirteenth century, and in 1991 the Lord Lyon again recognised a Chief of Clan MacIntyre.
