MacIntyre's in New Zealand

From your web site I read this:

MacCodrum’s. The remark made by Macintyre to one who ventured to hint that of all, his Oran d’a Cheile. Macintyre obviously took great pains with metaphors from nature, and here Macintyre was splendidly sure. His for deer, both roe and red, Macintyre is supreme. He would have agreed depth or clarity of thought, but Macintyre was long past his poetic prime would be interesting to know if Macintyre ever met Buchanan.

Our New Zealand MacIntyre’s, love deer hunting and fishing. My brother is a deer farmer in South Canterbury. Our home was called ‘Caberfeigh’ meaning ‘Lord of the Glen.’ [Stag]. The NZ MacIntyre’s are mostly a proud family and loners who are descended from Duncan Ban MacIntyre the Gaelic poet. ‘Jack’ John MacIntyre b.2.11.1890 [my grandfather] and his daughter, Fiona M MacIntyre [Mrs. Roydhouse] were both Head School Teachers in the South Island, New Zealand.

From Fiona’s notes:  ‘On August 3^rd 1975 I went to see the first church established in Scotland – GREYFRIARS CHURCH in Edinburgh. Inside the gates I was very surprised and delighted to see the name of my ancestor – Duncan Ban MacIntyre – on the scroll of honour – 15 names in all. Duncan Ban MacIntyre Gaelic Poet, 1812’

Celebrated Gaelic bard, Duncan Ban MacIntyre [Donnchadh Ban nan Oran] born at Druimliaghart, Glenorchy, Argyll in 1724 and died in Edinburgh in 1812.
