Donated to the National Library of Scotland on behalf of the Clan Gregor Centre in 

February 1999. This is the second of three (as of April 2004) Clan Gregor deposits: for 

the first, see Acc.10664; for the third seeAcc.12335. 

This inventory has been compiled by Sheila McGregor, FSA Scot, for the Clan Gregor 

Centre. 

Introduction: 

This material represents the contribution of a rather small number of active 

individuals to the Clan Gregor Centre over many years of collecting and compiling. It 

represent both traditional knowledge and many years of research. It has 

occasionally been possible to attribute a file to a named individual but in most cases 

the folders are composite collections from many sources and these are attributed to 

me in my capacity as curator and general editor. 

The members of the Clan as a whole, who are extremely numerous, owe the active 

few a great deal since they have been among the very few to keep hold of their real 

past and to avoid the romantic escapism that pervades modern Highland culture, if 

that is the right word. It has been possible, with the support of these few active 

members and the willing collaboration of the National Library of Scotland, not only to 

preserve their knowledge but often to extend it since modern research tools have 

made it sometimes possible to find solutions to long-standing problems. I believe 

The Quaich and the Clan Gregor Centre’s compilation of archival data marks a high 

point in the state of our understanding of Clan Gregor as an ethnic body which may 

stand for a very long time. 

However our new-found ability to collect and marshall data has also demonstrated 

the very severe limits on the available information which no amount of searching or 

listing will remedy. Very few pedigrees get past the 1800 barrier, and many fail 

before then. Only in the United States are there secure pedigrees back to the 

seventeenth century which then lead back to Scotland, a fact that might surprise the 

many Scots who know little or nothing about Scottish settlement in America. 

When the information comes to an end, one can either search around persistently in 

the hope of finding something new, and persistence is sometimes rewarded, or one 

can focus on one element of the case or broaden one's interest to the whole Clan. In 

Clan Gregor we do at least have a Clan of enormous and still virtually unexplored 

interest and importance, which survived intact in its Highland fastness well into the 

sixteenth century and which is thus recorded in all its primeval splendour despite the 

almost total lack of literacy among its members. 

It is hoped to make one final deposit of Clan Gregor material relating to the later 

history of the Clan and to its main branches, attempting to reconcile the various 

known pedigrees, and the ever-present problem of Rob Roy and his descendants, or 

lack of them. For those who are looking here in hope of finding a link, I can only 

advise that some twenty years of experience now suggest that family traditions of 

descent are almost invariably an improvement on the actual situation of a family link 

in the broadest sense, to Clan Dougal Ciar as the southern branch of Clan Gregor. 

Indeed, every member was to some extent related to Rob Roy, but actual

descendants tend to know their relationship and do not have to prove anything. 

There are exceptional discoveries still to be made but on the whole it is evident that 

the percentage of genuine claims is very small, and that even in cases that are likely 

to be genuine there is rarely enough information to confirm or reject the link. 

A further deposit will also be made of the Names of the Clan and the reasons for 

their use, based on new research done by myself over the past few years, but based 

on the information gathered by Forbes Macgregor (see his article ‘Who is a 

MacGregor?’), by Frank Adam (Clans, Septs and Regiments) and to a lesser extent 

by earlier writers. One may say here that the many and varied family traditions that I 

have been privileged to collect almost all show a direct link with the preliterate 

population of Highland Perthshire. It is in fact difficult to identify many families from 

some parishes such as Balquhidder and Kenmore that are not part of the Clan, 

incoming feudal families always excepted. 

In many cases a reference to The Quaich is given. This is the Clan Gregor research 

journal published in twenty parts (five volumes of four parts each) from 1989 to 1996. 

The pages in each volume are numbered again from 1 and there are approximately 

40 pages in each part. The finished article, as published, may be more complete 

than the bound material; in other cases there is some interesting background 

material in the file that was not published.
