Clan Seanchaidh

The Gaelic word Seanchaidh - often given phonetically in English as Shennachie means historian or story teller.  Historically, a Scottish clan chief would have had a Seanchaidh, who was essentially the genealogist, historian, storyteller and keeper of the memories, traditions and ceremonies of a clan or family and its Chief.  We are lucky within the Clan Mackay Society that we have two.
