User ID: P877
General Notes:
II. The Clan Chiaran. or house of Achnarrow and Delachapple. [....]
A tradition goes among the Grants, that the progenitors of the Clan Chiaran and the Clan Alan were called Lucas Liadh and Amhradh Buidhe. That of Lucas Liadh or Ciar came the Clan Chiaran, and of Amhradh (Humphry) the Clan Alan. Be this as it may, it cannot be doubted that the Clan Chiaran had resided in Stratherick, since some tenements there are still called Bala-chiaranich. Upon leaving Findhorn, at Dundubh and the neighbourhood, from whence they removed into Strathspey, and possessed the Barony of Achinarrow in the parish of Cromdale, from which they were designed, till of late the representative of them took the title of Dellachaple.
I shall not pretend to trace up this clan higher than to Alan Grant of Achnarrow, the seventh inclusive from Robert Grant now of Dellachaple."
from Tullochgorm Memoirs
