One of Scotland's most distinguished clans, there are a number of conflicting theories as to the true origins of the Keiths.
• One theory is that their roots stretch back to the first century AD when, known as the Chatti – from which the Keith name later derived – their territory in modern-day Germany was overrun by Roman legions.
• Forced to seek a new homeland and after enduring a dangerous sea crossing, they eventually made landfall on the north coast of Scotland in what is now known as Caithness – originally known as ‘Chatti-ness’.
