Clan Shaw

[3] His heirs were known as the Mhic anToiseach which means the sons of the Thane and they supported the royal government, consolidating their power around Inverness.

[3] The feud with the Clan Comyn brought the Chattan Confederation support from Robert the Bruce and they fought for him at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.

[3] In 1391 Shaw was elected as Captain of Clan Chattan for a raid on Angus under Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan who was known as the "Wolf of Badenoch".

[3] On 22 May 1543 Angus MacRobert of Tordarroch was one of the signatories of a band of union and management of the Clan Chattan, that was signed at Inverness.

[3] The clan prospered and Duncan Shaw, Laird of Crathienaird rose to become chamberlain to the Earl of Mar by 1691.

[3] Angus never recovered from his experience or the death of his brother and as a result he refused to call out his clan for the Jacobite rising of 1745.

His grave in Doune at Rothimurchus has 5 heavy homing stones resting on top, said to represent those who survived the battle.
