Scotland
See The Connection of the Macraes with the House of Kintail:
The Macraes were ever foremost in the cause of the chiefs of Kintail, and by their prowess in battle, their industry in the arts of peace, and in many instances by their scholarly culture and refinement, they were mainly instrumental in raising the Barony of Kintail, afterwards the Earldom of Seaforth, to the important position it occupies in the annals of Scottish history.
See The Macraes were Episcopalians and Jacobites
During the long period of religious and civil warfare which preceeded and followed the Revolution of 1688, the Macraes supported the Episcopal Church and the Scottish House of Stuart, and as a result they suffered much, not only in property, but also in life and limb.
See: Macraes in the Seaforth Regiments
During the closing decades of the eighteenth century, when the Highland regiments were raised, the Macraes entered loyally and readily into the military service of their country.
