The MacIntyre clan, originating from the Scottish Highlands, has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The name "MacIntyre" translates to "Son of the Carpenter," reflecting their ancestral profession. Traditionally associated with the region of Glenoe, near Loch Etive in Argyll, the clan served as hereditary foresters to the powerful Clan Campbell. Despite their smaller size, they were known for their loyalty and bravery, participating in key historical events such as the Jacobite risings. Over time, many members of the clan emigrated, particularly during the Highland Clearances, spreading their heritage across the globe while maintaining strong ties to their Scottish roots.
