Clan MacTavish is believed to have originated from the ancient Celtic and Pictish tribes in Scotland. The clan's name is derived from 'Taus Coir', a personal name meaning 'quiet and peaceable'. The MacTavishes were historically seated in Argyll and are said to be descendants of the royal house of Dalriada.
Throughout Scottish history, the MacTavishes played a significant role, particularly during the Scottish Wars of Independence. They were staunch supporters of Robert the Bruce and later, during the Jacobite risings, the clan remained loyal to the British crown, which shaped much of their later history.
Notable figures from Clan MacTavish have made their mark in various fields.
