==History==
===Before the Books===
Kinnaird was the mate of [[Morag]] and the father of her first three litters. They happily lived in the [[MacDuncan Clan]] before their fourth litter was born and [[Malcadh|they were exiled]] from the [[MacDuncan Clan]].

==='''[[Lone Wolf]]'''===
[[Morag]], Kinnaird's mate, went ''[[By-Lang|by-lang]]'' with her third litter of pups. [[Morag]] gave [[File:Wolf16-1-.jpg|thumb|228px|Kinnaird had tawny fur, which he passed on to his daughters Mhairie and Dearlea.]]birth to three pups, [[Faolan|a silver male]] and two tawny females, who looked like him. Later, [[Shibaan]] discovered [[Morag]] and her pups, and, as it was her duty, took [[Faolan|the silver pup]], a ''[[malcadh]]'' because of his splayed paw, and [[Tummfraw|abandoned it on an icy riverbank]].

They returned to [[MacDuncan Clan|the clan]], the announcement of the ''malcadh'' was made and [[Morag]] and Kinnaird were cast out.

Near the very end of the book, after [[Faolan]] jumps over the wall of fire, [[Duncan|Duncan MacDuncan]] explains he is the splayed-pawed ''malcadh,'' son of [[Morag]] and Kinnaird. He most likely died in [[Frost Wolf]], due to famine or the [[Skaars Dancers|Skaars dancing]], or in [[Spirit Wolf]], due to the earthquake.
==Trivia==
* Kinnaird is Irish for 'steep slope.' It is really spelled Kinnard.
* It is also a Scottish name, associated with the name of an area in Scotland. It could come from the Gaelic words "Ceann Ard" meaning "high head" (Ard - tall, high, Ceann - head)
