Clan Chattan (Scottish Gaelic: Na Catanaich or Scottish Gaelic: Clann Chatain)[4] is a unique confederation of Highland clans.[5] The clan is distinctive in highland clan history in that it was acknowledged to be a community or confederation,[6] of twelve separate Scottish clans,[7] who each had their own clan chief recognized under Scottish law, but who were united under and bound to a superior chief of the confederation for mutual solidarity, sustenance and protection in the Middle Ages and early modern period in the Scottish Highlands.
