Through this blog, my attempt is to
thoroughly go through the Clan Mackintosh. I believe there is much
confusion and
miss info out there about the Clan Mackintosh. There are several
separate family branches that spring from the Mackintosh. One of them, that I would like to discuss is called the
Strone Branch. This branch comes from Donald
Glas, an
illegitimate son of the 13
th Chief, William Mackintosh, who was
murdered in 1515 by a fellow Clansman who wanted to be chief.
Through much of the history of the Mackintosh, the Mackintoshes of
Strone were very close to the Chiefs of the Clan Mackintosh. I feel this blog is needed because of the lack of info that exists on the
Strone branch on the
Internet. Also to find any descendants of this branch is a goal of mine. I feel that working on the genealogy of the Clan Mackintosh will further strengthen and unite our clan.
