But.... even if they are 'real'... what does it have to do with the last wolf in Scotland?

[BornAgainScot]

Maybe the last wolf wasn't killed. Maybe it migrated to America. Once there it was adopted by the cherokee. Hence Cherokee Wolf Clan - well, it was a Scottish wolf so it MUST have been part of a clan!

One day, in the winter of 1743, in Morayshire, the ruling Laird, of MacIntosh received a message from
the chief of clan Mackintosh, that a large wolf had on the preceding day killed two children, who,
with their mothers, were crossing the hills from Calder.

The Laird's stalker Macqueen was consequently invited by the chief to attend a "Tainchel", or gathering
in the forest of Tarnaway, in Moray, and to bring with him his dogs. A man great stature and of
corresponding strength, Macqueen kept the best deer-hounds in the country

On the morning of the tryst, Mackintosh waited eagerly for Macqueen, but he only arrived at noon. As
Mackintosh was about to complain of his delay, Macqueen raised his plaid, and drew from under his arm
the bloody head of the aggressor. "I met the bit beastie," said Macqueen, "and this is his
head...as I came through the sloch by east the hill there, I foregathered wi the beast.
My long dog there turned him. I buckled wi him and kirkit him, and syne whuttled his craig, and
brought awa his countenance for fear he might come alive again, for they are precarious creatures!"

Mackintosh expressed his admiration, and rewarded his vigorous kinsman with the lands of Sean-a-chan
for "meat to his dogs.

" Macqueen of Pall-a-chrocain died in 1797"

It`s interesting that the original Gaelic was translated into Scots, rather than English.
