There appears to be two MacAulay families, one settled about the 13th century at Ardencaple and the other in the Island of Lewis. The Ardencaple Macaulay’s were a branch of Clan Alpine, and in 1591 were associated with the MacGregors as septs. Their lands were sold to the Duke of Argyll in 1787. The Macaulay’s of Lewis followed the MacLeods of Lewis and claim to be descended from Aula or “Olave the Black” who, in the 13th century, was King of Man and the Isles. Macaulay’s on the Highland mainland associated with Clan Mackenzie.
