139.Highland Clan Origin Legends: Macintyre and MacRae/MacRath

Highland clan origin legends were not intended to convey absolute truth to later generations about how the clan started.  Well, then what were they intended for?  For this episode, I share from a book by Michael Newton, The Everyday Life of the Clans of the Scottish Highlands.  We start by learning about some of the purposes of these legends generally, then read the origin legends of two clans: the Macintyres and MacRaes.   Check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVefgJWXdhFbq_MwPFTWe2w Check out my website: www.scottish-clans.com For free study material: www.scottish-clans.com/resources  Check out my sponsor: www.usakilts.com  Here's the book I read from in this episode on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Life-Clans-Scottish-Highlands/dp/0971385823/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1688008630&sr=8-1
