[MACKAY]

I am fortunate in that we were able to trace our family branch of the Mackay Clan back to Alexander Macdonald, Lord of the Isles; via a direct link to Angus Dubh Mackay in the early 1400's. I guess that makes me a Macdonald as much as a Mackay

Also, if you take a little leap of faith you can then claim that Angus Mackay was a descendant of the original Mackay Chief - One step further and you can apply the most popular and accepted theory as to the origins of the chieftenship of the Clan Mackay, is that the chief was descended from the Pictish Royal House of MacEth.

So - I trump ya all - I am descended from the original Pictish Royal Line as well as the Lord of the Isles
