Swords, shields, axes and thrown rocks -- these are what Clan Mackintosh men used to become known as "the fightingest clan in the Highlands." The clan was born in battle at the side of the Scottish king in the 1100s. In the last great war for independence from England, in 1745, it was the Mackintosh men who led the charge at Culloden Moor -- and who died for their country in the greatest numbers, as shown by the size of their mass grave on the battlefield. In between, things were rarely quiet for the Mackintoshes. Whether it was the bizarre Battle Of North Inch, the tragic death of young Chief William or the patriotism of "Colonel" Anne Mackintosh in "the '45," Clan Mackintosh was always in the thick of the battle. If you're a Mackintosh, or a member of any of the clan's many sub-groups, this history will give you more reason than ever to walk tall. As if, being a Mackintosh, you needed more reason!
