History of the Mackenzies, with genealogies of the principal families of the name
Alexander Mackenzie, an Inverness journalist and historian of the Highland clans, wrote this history of his own name and revised and extended it for a new edition. He opens by disputing the old claim that the Mackenzies descended from the Irish Fitzgeralds and argues instead for a native Celtic origin. The main narrative follows the chiefs of Kintail from the first Kenneth through the medieval feuds to the Earls of Seaforth and their part in the Jacobite risings, and is followed by genealogies of the principal branches: Gairloch, Allangrange, Hilton, Dundonnell, Fairburn and many more. It is both a clan chronicle and a reference work for families tracing their descent. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
