One of Scotland's most powerful Highland clans is now led by a chief whose family seat is in the Netherlands.

Clan Mackay originated in Strathnaver, the remote northwestern corner of Sutherland, and for centuries was one of the most numerous and formidable clans in the Highlands, with lands stretching from Cape Wrath along the north coast toward Caithness. Their motto, "Manu Forti" — "With a Strong Hand" — was earned through generations of near-constant conflict with neighboring clans, most notably a centuries-long feud with the Sutherlands that the Mackays ultimately lost in 1829, when their remaining lands were sold off.

The clan's fortunes took an unusual turn in the 1600s. Donald Mackay, 1st Lord Reay, went into exile in Denmark after supporting the losing side in the English Civil War and died there. Generations later, his descendants settled permanently in the Netherlands, where the family still holds the title Baron. The current chief of Clan Mackay, the 15th Lord Reay, lives in the Netherlands, and the clan's official seat, Ophemert Castle, sits not in the Scottish Highlands but along a Dutch river.
An ancient Highland clan forged in the far north of Scotland.

Its chief's front door now opens onto the Netherlands.
