MacBeth Modern

Description

The MacBeths, or Beatons, whose name meant Son of Life, were a learned kindred who served as hereditary physicians to the MacDonald lords and other powerful west Highland clans, such as the Stewarts of Appin and MacLeans of Duart from the 14^th century onwards. Members of the clan who served a patron as physicians were high status individuals who were part of a vibrant learned and cultural community. MacBeths often trained at specialised schools in Ireland, which Gaelic Scotland had a close political, cultural, and spiritual relationship with. Held in such high esteem, members of the clan served Scotland’s kings as physicians at court.
