has gloss | eng: Clan Mackay (Gaelic: Mac Aoidh) is an ancient and once powerful Scottish clan from the far north of the Scottish Highlands, but with roots in the old province of Moray. They were a powerful force in politics beginning in the 14th century, supporting Robert the Bruce. Mackays became famous for strength, courage and skill in soldiering and were involved in endless clan battles against Keiths, Rosses, Gunns, Sinclairs, Sutherlands and others, and in wars abroad. In the centuries that followed they were anti-Jacobite. They played an important military role in both Scotland and Europe. The Highland Clearances had dire consequences for the clan, but since then they have spread through many parts of the world and have provided it many famous and influential people. |

has gloss | deu: MacKay ("Sohn des Kay"), auch bekannt als Clan Morgan, ist der Name eines schottischen Clans, der aus der nordschottischen Region Strathnaver, Sutherland stammt. Der Clan hatte ständig mit mächtigen Nachbarn zu kämpfen, darunter die MacDonalds und die Herzöge von Sutherland, und musste Strathnaver 1642 wegen des anhaltenden Druckes verkaufen. 1829 übernahm die Sutherland-Familie die verbleibenden Ländereien der MacKays. Das Motto des Clans lautet Mau forti ("Mit starker Hand"). |

has gloss | gle: Ba chlann ársa agus cumhachtach í Clann Mhic Aoidh i dtuaisceart Ghaeltacht na hAlban, ach le fréamhacha i ndúiche Mhoireibh. Ba fhórsa láidir sa pholaitíocht i dtús an 14ú haois iad, ag tacú le Roibeard Brús. Bhí clú orthu i gcomhair a gcuid neart, misneach agus scileanna saighdiúireachta agus bhí siad páirteach i gcathanna síoraí in aghaidh Clann Keith, Clann Ross, Clann Gunn, Clann Sinclair, Clann Sutherland agus daoine eile, agus i gcogaí thar lear. Sna céadta bliain ina dhiaidh sin bhídís frith-Stíobhartach. D'imir siad ról tábhachtach míleata in Albain agus san Eoraip. Bhí toradh Fhuadach na nGael tromchúiseach orthu, ach ó shin i leith tá siad scaipthe fud fud an domhain. |
