The Clan Chattan in later times consisted of sixteen septs, who followed MacIntosh as captain of the clan, but did not recognise him as one of the race, and regarded MacPherson of Cluny, head of the sept called _Clan Vuireach_, as the male representative of the founder of the clan. The first of the MacIntoshes who appears with the title of Captain of Clan Chattan is Duncan MacIntosh, the son of Malcolm, in 1400 and in 1466, and he was probably placed by the Lord of the Isles over that part of the clan who adhered to him. Eight of the septs forming the later Clan Chattan may be put aside as having been affiliated to the clan subsequently to the year 1429, as well as the family of MacIntosh, descended from Malcolm. The remainder represent the clan as it existed before that date. It consisted of an older sept of MacIntoshes, who possessed lands in Badenoch, the principal of which was Rothiemurchus, and appears to have claimed those of Glenlui and Locharkaig in Lochaber. The eight septs who then formed the Clan Chattan proper were the _Clan Vuirich_ or MacPhersons, and the _Clan Day_ or Davidsons, who were called the old Clan Chattan, and six stranger septs, who took protection from the clan. These were the _Clan Vic Ghillevray_ or MacGillivrays, the _Clan Vean_ or MacBeans, the _Clan Vic Govies_, the _Clan Tarrel_, the _Clan Cheanduy_, and the _Sliochd Gowchruim_ or Smiths. The _Clan Vic Govies_, however, were a branch of the Clan Cameron, and the _Sliochd Gowchruim_ were believed to be descendants of the person who supplied the place of the missing member of the clan at the combat on the North Inch of Perth, and who was said to have been a smith.
