Dunlichity, an ancient parish of NE Inverness-shire, united in 1618 to Daviot, and lying along Strathnairn to the SW of Daviot. It takes its name, originally Dunleeatti, and signifying `the hill of the Catti,' from a hill adjacent to its church; it forms the larger portion of the united parish of Daviot and Dunlichity; and it still has a church of its own, rebuilt in 1758, and containing 300 sittings. The Catti, whose territory lay in and around it, were the ancestors of the Clan Chattan, comprising MacIntoshes, MacPhersons, Davidsons, MacGillivrays, MacBeans, VicGovies, Gows or Smiths, and others, all followers of MacIntosh of MacIntosh.
