  Marriage Notes:

"James Grant in Aichkernik, also known as McAllan, is mentioned in a remission by King James VI to John Grant of Freuchie and his clan in 1569. This is the earliest known reference to the chieftain of Clan Allan. He was to become a prominent member of the clan and a close advisor to the Laird of Freuchie. McAllan was apparently married twice. His wife in 1581 was Janet Calder. " [....]
