.. sorry to revert, but it is a clan (family) FROM the north. A family TO the north is odd :) JohnCongerton 12:10, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] clean up

This article has been cleaned up now.

[edit] Battle of the Largs

The Norwegians were not defeated, it was an indecisive battle. Way to go, ultra-nationalist scots

As for Largs, it was actually in the long run decisive: The Norwgians were forced to retreat at that battle and then their fleet was attacked and defeated at Sea. However it did not mean an imediate and complete end to their power in the north of Scotland but a soon nut gradual decline within the coming years following Largs. 195.137.109.177 12:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV?

The article seems to include many non-neutral or unverified claims. In particular the “Defeat from McLellan Clan” section needs work. S.dedalus 23:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

As for the section "Defeat from McLellan Clan" that is completely unsubstasiated personal opinion nonesense. This is an example of later stories, false and made up by supporters of other clans who were to put it bluntly enemies during the times of the clans. The MacKays amongst others unfortunatly have fallen victim to this biased writing. This occurs due to the side they may have took during wars in centuries gone by. As for Largs, it was actually in the long run decisive: The Norwgians were forced to retreat at that battle and then their fleet was attacked and defeated at Sea. However it did not mean an imediate and complete end to their power in Scotland but a soon but gradual decline within the coming years of Largs. 195.137.109.177 12:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
