Historical and genealogical account of the Clan Maclean

220 BIOGRAPHICAL AND
Saund-huil Scannie the father of Cruinne.
Cruinne was father of Ceallie.
Ceallie the father of Counhdulli.
Counhdulli father of Niall.
Niall the father of Rath.
Rath is the first whose marriage I find noticed.
He was married to Maririotte or Margaret
daughter of Gillibrehde of Lorn and Morvern,
and sister of Sommerled, or Somhairle, thane of
Argyle, by whom lie had
Gillean, progenitor of the Clan-Gillean or
Macleans, and
Colin, father of Kenneth of Kintail, progenitor
of the Clan- Kenneth or Mackenzies.
There is- undoubted evidence that Gillean, as
well as his father Rath, held large possessions in
Upper-Mull, and along the whole of the northern
coast of that island ; and it also appears that the
island of Kerrara was part of their property at
this time. Who was the wife of Gillean is not
mentioned ; it is merely noticed that he had a
son called
Gillise Mac-Gillean or Maclean, who suc-
ceeded him, and who is said to have died
some time in the reign of Robert Bruce.
To whom Gillise was married is not noticed
either, but it is recorded that he left a son
called
Gillicallum or Malcolm Maclean, by whom
he was succeeded.
