| The Clan MacFarlane is a branch of the ancient Celtic Earls of Lennox, descending from Gilchrist, younger brother of Malduin, Earl of Lennox, who gave him the lands of Arrochar on the western shore of Loch Lomond about 1230. This is an historical and genealogical account of the clan, chief by chief, from Gilchrist down to John, the 22nd chief in the early twentieth century. There is as well a discussion of the main MacFarlane septs, including: McAllan, Arrol, Barclay, MacGreusach, MacInstalker, MacNiter, MacNair, Robb, McWilliam, Weir, MacJock (or Jackson), and MacCondy. - Foreign/Ethnic - Scotland - MacFarlane |
