[18] Neil suggests: 1562. May 21. Murder of Allaster McEwin Dow VcGregor by Patrick McAyn VycOlchallum alias McGregor Kyllejiese (Killiehassie ?) he was buried at Foss. Alaster was killed during the period when Glenorchy gave tacks to Clan Randall in Rannoch when many of the Menzies McGregor tenants were forced off their leased/tenanted lands of Rannoch hence the location of the death being near loch Tummell, which was also Menzies lands. Below is my interpretation of his patrynomic naming tree.
Gregor (this person should be in the 1488 document)
‘- Ewan dow (He must have been born ~1480)
‘- Alaster McEwin Dow VcGregor Killed 1562 (he must have been born ~1515-1520)
‘- Duncan McAlister (sons names given in order in 1590 list - Duncan must have been born ~1540)
|- John Dow McCondochie McAlaster (~1563) residing Ardlarich 1595 (likely to be the oldest)
|- Donald McCondochie McAlaster (~1565)
‘- Archibald McCondochie McAlaster (~1568) listed as being there in 1612

MACGREGOR OF LEARAGAN The following is from a Memoir by Colonel Hugh MacGregor :- “I. Duncan MacGregor, younger son of Gregor MacGregor of Roro (No.4) commonly called Donnacha dubh Liomhanach, from his having come from Glenlyon, got possession of Learagan, in Rannoch, from a tribe called Tavish, that resided there about the year 1480. His estate consisted of eleven merks of land, extending from Aldcheardie to the Clachghlas near the east end of Loch Rannoch. His brother Alexander went to Rannoch about the same time, and after a hard fought battle, with a tribe called Clann- ‘il bhuidh (Stewart) defeated them and took possession in Dunan. His Estate consisted of the Twelve merks of land, by the west of the river Ericht, the middle division of Slismine, or north side of Loch Rannoch having been then, as well for several generations before the sons of Roro came to Rannoch, possessed by the MacGregors of Ardlaraich. The descendants of Donnacha-dubh liomhanach, occupied Learagan either as proprietors or as tenants, from the above mentioned period till 1792 when the present system of sheep farming caused their removal. Duncan married a daughter of McPherson of Noelmore, in Badenoch by whom he had several children and was succeeded by his eldest son Malcolm MacGregor called Callum Glas or the pale faced Malcolm.”
