Clan History Information Please
Hi... I have just recently become very interested in the clans history after hearing stores and reading up on it. Now I am in a search for people to help me find out my roots.
I would like to know anything about the clan and espically the three brothers if you could help me in any way it would be much apprceated and if thier are any website or anything I can look even phone if need would be much apprecated thanks.

After reading your message, I was quite curious, as to which three brothers you were talking about. I received a letter off one of my ancestors, explaining all about the history of the MacKinnon's and it seems that he has gone back a long way.
If you can explain to me who the 3 brothers are maybe I can help you
Thanks Karen

Clan MacKinnon

Origin of Name: MacFhionghuin
Motto: Audentes fortuna juvat (Fortune assists the daring)
Badge: Pine

The MacKinnons claim their descent from the royal family of King Kenneth MacAlpine. Who was also progenitor of The Royal House of Stewart, and Clan MacGregor.

The clan slogan of “Cumnich Bas Alpin” or “Remember the death of Alpin” refers to the great-grandson of Kenneth, who was slain by Bruch, King of the Picts, in 837. His son Fingon, or “fair-born” is hailed as the progenitor of the clan. His brother Grigor was the progenitor of Clan MacGregor
