Chattan Confederation
The Chattan Confederation is a historical alliance of Scottish clans, primarily located in the central Highlands. It is known for its strong sense of unity and shared identity among its members, which include notable clans such as the Macphersons, Macintoshes, and Macgillivrays. This confederation played a significant role in the social and political landscape of Scotland during the late medieval period.
The Chattan Confederation was formed to provide mutual support and protection against external threats, particularly from rival clans. The clans within the confederation often collaborated in battles and shared resources, fostering a sense of loyalty and camaraderie. Their influence can still be seen today in the cultural heritage of the Scottish Highlands.
