Copy of the 'Genealogical Account of the Mac Raes' 'As written originally by the Rev John Mac Rae sometime minister of Dingwall...1704..Transcribed by Farquhar MacRae of Inverinate...1786. Copied by Capt[ain] John MacRae...from this transcript in the possession of his son Dr John MacRae...in 1816.' The copy contains insertions by Carmichael, each of which he has intialled. The account describes their origins in Ireland, the origin of their name 'Mac Rath, the fortunate son' and subsequent variations of the name. Their connections to royalty and to other clans and references to them from the 13th to 17th centuries are also recorded. Although extensive, the copy is incomplete and folios 70r to 77r have been left blank, presumably with an intention of completing the copy. A copy of this account is available in the National Library of Scotland (see Related Material below)
