The clan surname MacLean is an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic MacGilleEathain. The family was powerful throughout the Hebrides and Highlands from the 9th century having strong allegiance with the catholic faith. They were befriended by the early kings of Scotland for their seamanship and their large number of vessels which were useful against the Viking raids in the 9th century.The founder of the clan was a Scots warlord descended from the royal Cenél Loairn named Gilleain na Tuaighe "Gillean of the Battleaxe", who lived circa Montrose. He was succeeded by his son Hector in 1649 who lost his life two years later at the Battle of Inverkeithing. He was succeeded by his young brother Alan who died in 1674 to leave another young heir. By 1697 the Campbells had gained possession of Duart as well as most of the Maclean estates due to the fact that the Macleans were so heavily in debt and forced to sell their lands. The Macleans were loyal to the Stuarts and the 5th Baronet, Sir John, fought for James VII at Killiecrankie in 1689. Maclean of Drimmin took charge of the clan during the '45; he died during the charge at Culloden. Duart Castle could not be maintained and fell to ruin. The 8th Baronet became a general, the 19th baronet, Sir Fitzroy, fought at the Battle of Sebastopol of 1854-55. The present chief's father became the Chief Scout of the Commonwealth and was the Lord Chamberlain to HM The Queen. He consequently became a life peer as Lord Maclean of Duart. As a result the clan is still represented on the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs and there are various clan societies in existence across the world.
