MacBay

The western coast of Scotland and the desolate Hebrides islands are the ancient home of the MacBay family. Their name is derived from the names of Macbeth and Bethune, or Beaton. The surname MacBay was first found in the Isle of Islay, where legend has it that the progenitor of this Clan is none other than Macbeth (Mac Bethad mac Findláich) (1005-1057), the High Steward of Moray.
