Tartan History

The progenitor of this clan is said to have settled in Barra in the 11th century. Neil Og, 6th chief, supported King Robert the Bruce during the War of Independence. The fortress of Kisimul Castle was the home of the Chiefs. Roderick, 15th chief, was called "the turbulent", and was arrested for piracy against an English ship. He successfully defended himself. Barra was made a Crown Barony in 1688.
