Old Photograph Mackenzie Newsagent Shop Doune Scotland
Old photograph of the Mackenzie Newsagent shop and market cross in Doune, Scotland. The Mackenzie surname including Mckenzie, Macenzy and Makkeney, is from Gaelic " MacCoinnic h" or the son of Coinneach, a personal byname meaning " comely." Kanoth Makkanehy was noted in the records of the family of Rose of Kilravock, dated 1499, and Ewin Makkenye was sone and heir to Kenyeoch Maksorle in the Black Isle in 1500. Gilcrist Makkingze in Wigtownshire was charged with forethought felony in 1513. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Makbeth Makkyneth, a witness at pleas held at Dull, in Angus, and dated 1264. Clan Mackenzie, Scottish Gaelic: Clann Choinnich, is a Scottish clan, traditionally associated with Kintail and lands in Ross-shire in the Scottish Highlands.
