Maclean Clan
The Macleans are considered to be descendants of Gillean-na-Tuardhe (1249-1286), also know as ‘Gillean of the Battleaxe’, for his prowess in wielding that fierce weapon at the Battle of Largs in 1263 against King Haakon IV of Norway. Some evidence suggests that the clan origins are Norman and go back to when William the Conqueror came to Britain in 1066.
