Tour Scotland video of Flying Officer, I. Mackenzie, gravestone in Sleepyhillock Cemetery on ancestry visit to Montrose. He served with the Royal Air Force and died aged 30, on the 2nd of November 1943. The surname MacKenzie was first found in Ross-shire, Gaelic: Siorrachd Rois, a former county, now part of the Council Areas of Highlands and Western Isles in Northern Scotland, which emerged from the Gaelic lordship of the Earl of Ross, where they held a family seat from early times. The root of the ancient Dalriadan-Scottish name MacKenzie is the personal name Coinneach. The Gaelic form of the name is Mac Coinnich or Mac Choinnich, both of which mean son of Coinneach.
