MacLeod Clan

About 1330, during the time of the clan’s third Chief, a MacLeod was visiting a friend when-he saw a poor man thrown in the bull ring for sport. MacLeod leaped in to help the man and grabbed the bull by the horns. “Hold Fast” shouted the crowd. He held fast and threw the bull so hard one horn broke off. According to legend that is the horn from which the cup was made which MacLeod Chieftains must drain at a single swig to show they are man enough for the job. “Hold Fast” is the clan’s motto still. David Pettit’s family lineage dates back to the 1200 AD and the Chieftan Leod. Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye off the West coast of Scotland is the seat of the MacLeod Clan. Dunvegan is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland.
