Obitus Gregorii filii Joannis M'Gregor alias M'Ewyn VAllexander de glenstra apud Insulam de Lochrannich vltimo die Julii anno Domini MVxxiJ - this is the death of Gregor in 1522, not 1526 as in Amelia's version! Having checked the original MS of the Dean's Chronicle it is apparent that 1522 in the BBT is incorrect, Gregory's 1526 in Amelia is correct.

MACGREGOR OF ARDLARICH. This Family in Rannoch claimed to be closely connected with the House of Glenstray, which is probable, although no direct evidence to that effect can be adduced. "One MS. account states that 'In the year 1500 the 32 merkland of the Slios Mhin on north side of Loch Rannoch was divided into three divisions, [7] March 16 1549/50 (GD112/24/5/2).

Presumably died young". - Prof Neil says that Phanans would be Fearnan and that John was probably a natural son of John McEwin VicAlasdair [11] Dougal (Dougal McEwin GD112/3/13. 19 September 1530)?? Probably the Dougal cair mentioned in 1488 [12] Donald was included in 1488 pardon GD112/3/9 [13] Gilchrist was included in 1488 pardon GD112/3/9 [14] Malcolm in Clochterane GD112/24/5/5 [15] Donald in Morinche and son John both mentioned in GD112/24/5/5 March 16 1549 [16] Malcolm in Morinche mentioned in GD112/24/5/5 16/3/1550 [17] Tearlaich McDonill Moir McGillespe in Ardewnane (GD112/24/5/1 16/3/1550) [18] A MEMOIR OF THE FAMILY OF ARDLARICH. (By R W. D. CAMERON, M.D - There is extant a certificate in favour of Alister MacGilespa of Ardlarich, of which this a copy-" That Alexander Macgregor, &c, in Wester Killichonan, is. according to the information of the most knowtng people in this country, the fifth by lineal succession from James Mac Gregor, who first came out of tbe family of Macgregor (commonly called of Ardlarich), in Rannoch, in the parish ot Fortingall, is attested at Kinloch Rannoch the seventh day of January, 1787 years." (Signed John Moncrieff, minister of Rannoch and Foss. The James referred to in this document must therefore have been the grandfather of Gilespic I. of the memoirs. He was probably the son of Gregor Macgregor, proprietor of the Middle division of Slismine, consistlng of Ardlarich and other villages as far as Aldcheardie, who died in the Island ot Loch Rannoch in July, 1526. This Gregor is mentioned in the Dean of Lismore's manuscript as being the son of John .Macgregor alias McEwine McAllister of Glenstrae, and as having been buried in Dysart, Glenurchy, in a stone coffin on the north side ot the High Altar of Glenstrae. James was succeeded in Ardlarich by John Dubh Macgregor, as would appear from an entry in the Register of Decrees, dated 24th May, 1595-" Alexander Menzies of that ilk against Alexander Macgregor of Glenstra, pretended tenant and occupier of the 32 merk land of Rannoch by himself and sub-tenant under-written." Among the names subscribed appears that of John Dubh McConachdie Vic Allister, as occupier of the 6 merk land of Ardlarich.

There is a puzzle here. On the one hand it is argued that Gregor was the first child of the marriage of John McEwin and Eilidh (Helen) Campbell, born ~1522 and died at about the age of 4 in 1526. His brother Alasdair ruadh then succeeded his father as chief in 1528 when he was only 4 years old. [20] Duncan Brek: Also listed as cousin to John McEwan. Duncan Brek was recorded as killing his cousin Alexander McPatrick roy and Alexander’s son Duncan in 1529
[21]
Here is a puzzle. The chronicle in BBT has Alasdair aged 17 in 1532. Amelia has his age as 7!

[24]
Amelia has on page 215 "The middle division, consisting of the 12 merkland comprehending Ardlaraich, Kilchonan &c was possessed by Gregor MacGregor who died in the island of Loch Rannoch July 31, 1526, (should be 1522!) he (Gregor) was the son of John McEwne vich Allester MacGregor
