Capt. William Mackay of Borley was a zealous Royalist who resided in Sutherland, Scotland. He led a company of Mackays at the Battle of Worcester ...

"In April 1651, a levy of Mackays and other northern clans marched through Inverness on their way to the king's rendezvous at Stirling. The Mackays were under the command of Captain William Mackay of Borley, nephew of Hew Mackay of Scoury. On the 31st July, the Scottish army began its march southwards under the king, and on the 3rd September was completely defeated by Cromwell at Worcester. Many of the unfortunate prisoners taken that day were sold as slaves to the planters in Barbadoes, but Mackay of Borley managed to elude capture and made his way back to Strathnaver." [3]

He was appointed a commissioner of supply for the County of Sutherland by the Parliament of 1685 and also that of 1691.
