The accompanying text in 'The Clans of the Scottish Highlands' by James Logan begins as follows:
"CLAN GILLIBHREAC, OR MAC GILLIVRAY
It is said that, about 1263, one Gabrai placed himself under the protection of the MacIntosh, and was progenitor of the clan Gillivray. It could not, however, be from this person that the patronymic is derived. MacGillivray, the Mac Gilli-bhreac of Gaëlic orthography, signifies the son of the freckled lad, and is a name of considerable importance in different parts of the Highlands."
