The earliest possessors of Raite were the Mackintoshes. Shaw Mackintosh, the fourth chief of the clan, obtained a grant of Rothiemurcus , Meikle Geddes and the Raite some time before 1265. He is said to have married Helen, the daughter of the second recorded Thane of Cawdor. His son Ferquhard succeeded him, and dying in 1274, left an only child, Angus, during whose minority, the Cummings took possession of Raite and other Mackintosh lands. As Norman knights, they dropped their surname and appear in the records of the period as 'De Rathe' or de Rate'.
