History
A prominent family of tacksmen of Clan Macrae were based for several centuries at Inverinate. They were loyal followers of the Earls of Seaforth and included Chamberlains of Kintail, castellans of Eilean Donan, clergymen and poets (such as Donnchadh MacRath) and Iain mac Mhurchaidh.
The Killilan and Inverinate estate is owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai. The 63,000 acres (25,000 ha) includes several large lodges.
