Davidson

The Davidsons have associations with the Clan Chattan federation, through the marriage of Donald Dubh of Inverhaven marrying the daughter of Angus, 6th of Mackintosh.

The clan was originally known as Clan Dhai, and its entry into the Clan Chattan lead to some dispute paticularly with the Macphersons. When the Mackintoshes, along with the Davidsons led branches of the Clan Chattan into battle with the Camerons, the Macphersons withdrew from the federation and watched the defeat of the Clan Chattan. The Macphersons were accused of cowardly behaviour by the chief of the Mackintoshes. The Macphersons were so angry at this claim, that they rose up and attacked the Camerons, completely defeating them.

The Macphersons and Davidsons were to continue their bitter feud for many years, and even fought against each other in the Battle of the North Inch of Perth in 1396.

Families of the Davidsons were seen in the 18th Century.
