(in Glendochart, Perthshire, ascended 1336)

Notes:

BLGS2001 contains an impressive pedigree for this family, taking it back many generations. We place the early generations reported there in the 'Ancient & Mythical section of the database and note that its connection to the undershown appears to rely on the presumption that the following Malcolm was the same person as Macbeth mac Angus. It should be noted that that early pedigree contradicts what Sir Robert Dugdale reported in his 'Baronage of Scotland' where, in the section on the Macgregor of Macgregor, he identifies Gregor or Gregory, Abbot of Dunkeld (d c1169 having "lived to be the oldest bishop of his time"), as undoubted ancestor of the Macnabs, specifically reporting that their were not descended from "the abbot of Glendochart, where there never was an abbacy".
