Kenneth Mackenzie, 8th of Kintail

Kenneth Mackenzie (died c. 1498–1499), or "Coinneach Oig", traditionally reckoned 8th of Kintail, was a Highland chief, being head of the Clan Mackenzie.

Origins Kenneth was the eldest son of Kenneth Mackenzie, 7th of Kintail (d.1492) and (probably) Finvola, daughter of Gilleasbaig (or "Celestine") Macdonald of Lochalsh. The Mackenzies' origins lay in the Northwest Highlands, but the centre of their power had by the end of the 15th century shifted to Easter Ross.

Career Kenneth appears never to have been served heir to his father and the absence of contemporary references to him has resulted in doubt over his very existence.

Kenneth left no legitimate issue and was succeeded by his half-brother, John Mackenzie, 9th of Kintail, who faced a fierce challenge for his inheritance from their uncle, Hector Roy Mackenzie of Gairloch.
