## History

The MacNeills originate from Scotland. The MacNeill name is linked to the [Scottish clan](/source/Scottish_clan) of the same name and is associated with the Outer Hebrides island of [Barra](/source/Barra), and the Inner Hebrides islands of [Colonsay](/source/Colonsay) and [Gigha](/source/Gigha). [Clan MacNeill](/source/Clan_MacNeil) has a long and distinguished history. Recent [genealogy](/source/Genealogy) studies have shown that Clan MacNeill is of [Norse-Gael](/source/Norse-Gael) descent, rather than Irish as was once believed.
