An explanation of Coats of Arms. Color differences in clan crests, what is a coat of arms, and some differences in the clans of Clan Chattan and their respective tartans. ~ Discrepancies in historical references, books, manuscripts, journals, and oral accounts as they pertain to the history of each clan within Clan Chattan as well as the Clan Chattan Confederation as a whole. "We are constantly correcting things, and there is still a lot of work to do." ~ Perhaps the oldest written genealogy and history of Clan Chattan is the '1467 Manuscript'. The Farr Manuscript which is in the National Records in Edinburgh contains important information about Clan MacBean. ~ Together with the Mackintoshes, the MacBeans were supporters of Robert the Bruce, which resulted in fights and a feud with the Comyns. 1291, The case for 'Eva' - did she exist and the appearance of the MacBeans. ~ The 'Kinrara' (written in English and Latin) ~ The 2022 Inauguration of Richard MacBain of MacBain, Chief of Clan MacBean https://mcbainofmcbain.com/ ~ Highlanders spoke Gaelic, Lowlanders spoke English ~ Tartan - Colonel Peter MacDonald, the foremost authority on tartan in the world! The MacBean Tartans contain a "Mackintosh' stripe. ~ Astronaut Alan Bean, his memorial - The MacBean Tartan on the Moon... ~ The adoption of surnames in the middle of the 1600s! How this made everything very confusing. (example) The chief of Clan McBean was present at that time but known as Angus MacPhail, meaning son of Phail (Paul) because his father's name was Phaill (Paul) ~ Some important points in the history of Scotland, are Clan MacBean's first appearances in ancient Scotland, and the Clan Chattan Confederation. ~ How Wikipedia and the internet give inaccurate and false information. ~ Ghillies Mohr and the Battle of Culloden ~ How the MacBean chiefs came to Canada and then, the United States. The Clan Chattan Confederation's involvement in the Seige of Preston, the subsequent incarceration in Newgate Prison, and who helped to get them out. ~ How the MacGillivray chief came to reside at the MacBean Chief's home. And much, much more...
