The Clan was known to be Catholic in faith who acquiesced to the Episcopalian Faith during the Reformation period, Staunch Jacobites and due to these two distinctive traits, led to the Rattray’s dispersing across the globe. A very Notable Rattray is Episcopalian Reverend, Dr. Thomas Rattray, The Bishop of Dunkeld and Primus of Scotland.[7]
