Grumpy and quick-tempered, the scrappy Lord Dingwall doesn’t let being height-challenged get in the way of solving his problems with fisticuffs. Being the center of attention is not his strong suit, but he will not hesitate to leap into a fight alongside his father and clan when the occasion arises. Speaking an uncommon Scottish dialect that is incomprehensible to most, Young MacGuffin is a shy lad of large proportions. Even so, like his fellow lords, MacGuffin isn’t opposed to a first-rate brawl or full-throated belly laugh. Though a man of few words, his deep voice resounds across the land demanding respect and contributing to his reputation as the most even-handed and reasonable lord in the kingdom. Strapping Lord MacGuffin is full of brawn and dignity. The clans fall back to their history of fervent feuding, which threatens the fragile peace of the entire kingdom. The clans are summoned to Castle DunBroch to compete in the Highland Games, but the lords are outraged when Merida defies a sacred tradition. Though once warring factions, they united under the sword of King Fergus and are held together by the diplomacy and political savvy of Queen Elinor.

The new Disney/Pixar movie Brave tells the story of Merida, a headstrong teenager who also happens to be a princess. The three lords of the kingdom – Dingwall, Macintosh and MacGuffin – are the unruly, overzealous leaders of their respective clans.
