Old travel Blog photograph of Malcolm MacNaughton from Brodick on the Isle of Arran, in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. The Clan MacNaughton are amongst the Scottish clans who claim descent from the early Pictish rulers of the Mormaer of Moray. The name Nectan means pure or clear and was popular in at least one Pictish royal branch. Three brothers are recorded in the thirteenth century: Gilchrist, Athe and Gilbert, all sons of Malcolm MacNaughton. In 1297 Gilchrist received a charter from King Alexander III of Scotland which granted to him the keepership of a castle warding the narrow Pass of Brander, which was the gateway to the West.
