General Notes:
".... King (James I of Scots) .... resolved to visit the Highlands in person to put an end to the strife. He held a Parliament in Inverness, and summoned the chiefs to meet him. Alexander, the leader of the Clangorrie, and John MacArthur, were at once seized and executed. These were the only chiefs whose names have come down to us who made atonement for the sins of their tribes. Allan MacReginald escaped the King's rage on this occasion, for in the Exchequer Rolls for 1428 there is an entry recording a debt due by the baillies of Inverness to Alexander, Lord of the Isles, and Allan, the son of Reginald. This is, indeed, the only reference we can find to Allan anywhere in the public records of the time. His name appears often in the genealogies and manuscript histories of the Clan, but beyond his bare name there is nothing recorded of him. There is nothing to shew whether or not he succeeded to his father's lands after the execution of Alexander Macgorrie at Inverness. The probability is that, as he held a crown charter for these lands, the King would have preferred him to any of the other claimants."
