Clan MacAulay is a Scottish clan. The clan was historically centred around the lands of Ardincaple, which are today consumed by the little village of Rhu and burgh of Helensburgh in Argyll and Bute. The MacAulays of Ardincaple were located mainly in the traditional county of Dunbartonshire, which straddles the "Highland Line" between the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands.

  • Clan MacAulay is a Scottish clan. The clan was historically centred around the lands of Ardincaple, which are today consumed by the little village of Rhu and burgh of Helensburgh in Argyll and Bute. The MacAulays of Ardincaple were located mainly in the traditional county of Dunbartonshire, which straddles the "Highland Line" between the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands. Clan MacAulay has been considered a "Highland clan" by writers and has been linked by various historians to the original Earls of Lennox and in later times to Clan Gregor. The MacAulays of Ardincaple, like Clan Gregor and several other clans, have traditionally been considered one of the seven clans which make up Siol Alpin. This group of clans were said to have claimed descent from Cináed mac Ailpín, King of the Picts, from whom later kings of Scotland traced their descent. The chiefs of Clan MacAulay were styled Laird of Ardincaple. Clan MacAulay dates, with certainty, to the 16th century. The clan was engaged in several feuds with neighbouring clans. However, the clan's fortunes declined in the 17th and 18th centuries. After the decline and fall of Clan MacAulay, which ended with the death of Aulay Macaulay in the mid-18th century, the clan became dormant. With the revival of interest in Scottish clans in the 20th century a movement was organised to revive Clan MacAulay. The modern organisation strove to unite the three unrelated groups of MacAulays, and all who bore the surname MacAulay, under one clan and chief. In 2002, the clan appointed a potential chief of Clan MacAulay, but his petition for formal recognition was denied by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. The Lord Lyon ruled that the petitioner did not meet two criteria: anyone without a blood link to a past chief must be Clan Commander for ten years before being considered for recognition, and that the chiefship in question was of the MacAulays of Ardincaple and not of all MacAulays. To date, Clan MacAulay does not have a chief recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, and therefore can be considered an Armigerous clan. There are many different families of MacAulays from both Ireland and Scotland which are not related and are considered to have no historical connection with Clan MacAulay. These include the Scottish Macaulays from the Western Isles (the Macaulays of Lewis and possibly the MacAulays of Uist). Irish families of MacAulays with no connection with Clan MacAulay are the McAuleys of Co Offaly and Co Westmeath, the McAuleys in Ulster, and the 'MacAuleys of the Glens'. The 'MacAuleys of the Glens', however, have been thought to have been originally Scottish.
  • MacAulayn klaani on skotlantilainen klaani. Klaanin historiallinen keskus on ollut Ardincaplea ympäröivät maat, joka nykyään kattaa Rhun kylän ja Helensburghin burghin Argyll ja Butessa. Ardincaplen Macaulayt ovat pääosin sijainneet perinteisessä Dunbartonshiren kreivikunnassa, jonka läpi kulkee 'Ylämaan linja' jakaen sen Ylämaahan ja Alamaahan. MacAulayta on pidetty Ylämaan klaanina ja eri historioitsijat ovat yhdistäneet sen alkuperäisiin Lennoxin jaarleihin ja myöhemmin Gregorin klaaniin. Klaanin päällikköä on kutsuttu arvonimellä Ardincaplen lairdi. On myös muita skotlantilaisia MacAulayn klaaneja, joilla ei ole historiallista yhteyttä tähän klaaniin. Näitä ovat Lewisin MacAulayn klaani ja Ullapoolin ja Loch Broomin MacAulayn klaani sekä mahdollisesti Uistin Macaulayn klaani.
  • Macaulay (MacAulay, McAulay) – szkockie nazwisko i nazwa klanu góralskiego. Współczesny klan Macaulay grupuje trzy mniejsze klany o tym nazwisku, historycznie wywodzące się z różnych klanów: The MacAulays of Ardencaple – właściwy klan Macaulay; The MacAulays of Lewis – gałąź klanu Macleod; The MacAulays of Ullapool and Loch Broom – gałąź klanu Mackenzie; Macauyleyowie z Ardencaple wywodzą się od Aulaya, wnuka Ailina, mormaera Lennox z XII. Poświęcony mu został gaelicki poemat XIII-wiecznego barda Muireadhach Albanacha -Mairg thréigios inn, a Amhlaoíbh. Dobra Ardencaple w Lennox ród otrzymał już w XIII w. Nazwisko Macaulay zostało przyjęte na stałe dopiero w w. XVI, choć imię Aulay traktowane jako rodowe, występowało często wcześniej. W XVI w. Macaulayowie z Ardencaple byli bezpośrednimi wasalami książąt Lennox. 27 maja 1591 Aulay MacAulay of Ardincaple i Allister MacGregor of Glenstrae zawarli sojusz w imieniu swych klanów, deklarując wspólne pochodzenie od Alpin mac Echdacha, króla Dalriady. Pakt z silniejszymi Macgregorami, do którego przyłączały się okresowo inne klany, był korzystny dla Macayleyów, gdyż ich stan posiadania był stale zagrożony ze strony potężnych Campbellów i Colquhounów. Niewiele brakowało aby ten związek stał się także przyczyną upadku klanu. Po bitwie pod Glenfruin w 1603 gdy Jakub VI ogłosił proskrypcję Macgregorów, tylko opieka książąt Lennox uratowała Macauleyów. Część Macregorów chroniła się w czasie swej banicji pod opieką wodzów klanu Macauley. W czasie powstań jakobickich Macaulayowie w większości poparli sprawę Pretendentów. Wiek XVIII przyniósł osłabienie klanu i przejęcie wielu ziem przez klany Campbellów i Buchananów.

  • The last Macaulays seem to have been a perfect type of the true old Celtic school of men who thought much of their Chiefery, of their old connection with Clan Gregor, and of the retainers whom they could send out to fight or reive in alliance with them, but who thought nothing of the acres under their own power which could be made to bear the fruits of industry and of peace. Argyll 1887: p. 371.
