Clan Info
There is a Highland saying that in the long genealogy of the MacNeil's, the biblical Noah is not to be found. "The MacNeil had a boat of his own," it is said.
A clan is defined as a social group whose core comprises a number of families derived from a common ancestor. The word clan became accepted in the Scottish Highlands during the 13th century.
The Clan MacNeill resided on the Outer Hebrides Island of Barra for several hundreds of years, starting just after the turn of the 11th century. The clan's seat was Kisimul Castle, built in Castle Bay on the island of Barra by the early clan Chiefs.
