36 THE CLAN OF MACALISTER. : Badge Fraoch (Common Heath). JACALISTER of Loup and Kennox, the head of this clan, is descended from Alister Mor, Lord of the Isles and Kintyre in 1284. He opposed the claim of Robert Bruce to the throne. The latter besieged him in his Castle of Swan, stormed it, and imprisoned him in the Castle of Dundonald on the Firth of Clyde, where he died ; and his possessions were bestowed upon his brother, Angus Mor, who was an adherent of the King, and in 1306 gave him refuge in his Castle of Dunavertie. "But," says Burke, ' the MacAlisters, possessing that jus tanguinis, of which no forfeiture could deprive them, claim to represent the ancient Lords of the Isles. On the overthrow of that dynasty in the reign of James IV., the MacAlisters became an independent clan under Ian Dim, whose residence was at Ardpatrick in South Rnapdale, and for generations his descendants were known as Vic-Ian-Dhu. His son, Charles, Steward of Kintyre, in 1481, was succeeded by his son Angus Vic-Ian-Dhu-MacAlister of Loup, who is mentioned in the Privy Seal Register in 1515. Alister, son of the latter, was fined for absenting himself from the King's host at Solway Moss in 1542. His son Alister obtained a charter from the Earl of Argyle in 1573. According to Burke, his son Godfrey closed a turbulent life early in the sixteenth century, and was buried in lona. In the Roll of the Landlords and Chiefs, under date 1587, we find "Alexander Macallaster of Loupe in Kintyre." In the Privy Council Register there is a case, in 1589, of Glenlyon against Fercher Dhu Maconeill MacAlister and others ; and in 1582 another of Glengarry against Kintail for the slaughter of Rory MacAlister and others, to the number of thirty-three, whom the MacKenzies slew " with dirks, -appointing that they suld not be buriet as Christian men, bot cassin furth and eitten be doiggis and swyne." Godfrey MacAlister, Burke states, was succeeded by his son Hector, who married, in 1620, Margaret, daughter of Campbell of Kilberry. The MacAlisters of Loup were in the army of Montrose at the battle of Inverlochy in 1645, "but without Hector, their chief, who was an unwilling vassal of Argyle." " Gory M'Alaster of Lowp" appears in the Scottish Acts of Parliament in 1678 as a commissioner for Argyleshire. Burke states that Hector's son Godfrey married a daughter of Sir Robert Montgomerie of Skelmorlie. Their son, Alexander MacAlister of Loup, was loyal to King James, and fought at Killiecrankie under Viscount Dundee, and afterwards served with the Royal army in Ireland against William of Orange. His son died without issue, so he was succeeded in his inheritance by his brother Charles, who married a daughter of Lamond of that Ilk. Angus, the son of the latter, was, we are told, a warm friend of the famous Flora MacDonald. His son Charles, born in 1765, married the heiress of Kennox, in Ayrshire, and added the arms of Somerville to his own. The estate of Strathaird in Skye, was the property of Alister MacAlister. Charles MacAlister died in 1847, and was succeeded by his son Charles Somerville MacAlister, born in 1799, died in 1891, and was succeeded by his son Lieut. -Col. Charles Somerville MacAlister.
