Ian Mackay

The Cordach Mackays From Coldbackie Ian Mackay

Young children often ask their mothers: "Where do I come from?" And, so a journey of self-discovery begins. We want to know where our grandparents come from? Where and how they lived? This is the story of Ian Mackay's great, great, great, great grandfather, Hugh Coardach MacKay (Senior) and those that followed him. It is a journey of paternal ancestral discovery and an exploration of the lifestyles and personal interactions of these predecesors in and around the family's ancestral home in Scotland over the last two centuries. This is Ian's fifth self-published book. His fourth book, Mackay Family History, was a journey of nine generations of "Cordach" Mackays from northern Scotland in 1771, to South Africa in 1910 and to western Canada in 1995. Fittingly, this book, delves deeper into the Cordach Mackay heritage.
