MacLeod Hunting (Harris) Modern

Description

The MacLeods of Harris and Dunvegan, known as Sìol Tormoid, were one of two main MacLeod branches, the other being MacLeod of Lewis. A powerful Norse-Gaelic family, claiming descent from Tormod, their lands encompassed Harris and Dunvegan in Skye, along with other disputed lands. Within these lands the lineage have held various castles including Dunvegan Castle. The clan were firmly part of the Hebridean elite. In 1411 the MacLeods of Harris fought with the Lords of the Isles and other west Highland clans at the Battle of Harlaw against crown-supported North-East lords and were present at the feast at Aros Castle afterwards to celebrate.

Their motto is Hold fast
