The History of the McCarty Clan

The clan was created in the year 1031 A.D. in the nation of Ireland. The founder of the clan was named Caleb Argue McCarty and named the clan after himself. The family tartan was Green Yellow, and Black. Of course like many other clans the McCarty Clan had many battles and pillages with their neighboring clans. It was believed that the McCarty Clan had more things that they had stolen from pillaging then what they had made themselves. It was also believed that the McCarty Clan had more time invading other clans then spending with their family. Of course many other clans were like this as well.



Mostly the McCarty Clan was like any other celtic clan. But each clan was different from the other. What made the McCarty Clan different was that they had originally been a group of Norsemen who had gotten lost and they landed in Ireland and decided to stay their. Eventually they made their own clan. They had also made their villages and their own docks. This clan was a very interesting in their lifestyle as well.



When the English began to invade the British Isles of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland the clan was united with many other clans to try and run the British out of their lands. Unfortunately the clans were not totally succsesful in doing so. But while the McCarty Clan was battling with the British Army they decided to wear the British Uniforms and sneak into strongholds and forts and burn them to the ground.

The McCarty Clan also was one of those clans that can get easily forgotten about. That is why I posted everything I know so far but every time I find out something new I will post it on here.
