Clan MacDonald of Keppoch, also known as Clan MacDonellof Keppoch or Clan Ranald of Lochaber (Scottish Gaelic: Clann Dòmhnaill na Ceapaich[ˈkʰl̪ˠãũn̪ˠˈt̪õː.ɪʎnəˈkʲʰɛʰpɪç]), is a Highland Scottish clan and a branch of Clan Donald. The progenitor of the clan is Alistair Carrach MacDonald, 4th great-grandson of the warrior Somerled. The clan chief is traditionally designated as the "Son of Ranald's son" (Scottish Gaelic: Mac Mhic Raonuill).[8]
Throughout history, the Clan MacDonald of Keppoch gained a reputation for their involvement in illicit activities, including frequent cattle raiding, and territorial disputes with neighboring clans, particularly their rivals, Clan Mackintosh. Their loyalty to the House of Stuart was unwavering, and they played a prominent role in the Jacobite uprisings of the 17th and 18th centuries, especially during the infamous Jacobite Uprising of 1745.
Clan MacDonald of Keppoch has a chief that is recognized by the Court of the Lord Lyon, and the Lord Lyon King of Arms, who is the heraldic authority in Scotland.
