Davidsons of today can boast a proud lineage that stretches back as one of the main clans of the mighty confederation of clans known as Clan Chattan.
• One Gaelic form of the name is MacDaidh, indicating ‘son of David’, and the Davidsons trace a descent from the 4th Chief of Clan Chattan.
• With broadsword in hand, they were frequently embroiled in warfare, including a ferocious battle against Clan Cameron in 1375 in which the Chief of Clan Davidson and seven of his sons were killed.
