[0] Fortingall 30 July1406. The first movement of the Campbells and MacGregors out of the three glens appears to have occurred in July 1406. “John of Glenorchy” (a Campbell) gained control of the vicarage lands of Fortingall on 30 July, 1406 (HMC vii, pt ii (Atholl Charters), 706, No.19). This grant was signed by Robert Cardney who was the bishop of Dunkeld. The John of Glenorchy appears to be John Campbell, second son of Sir Colin Campbell of Glenorchy, who was married to Robert Duke of Albanys sister, thus John Campbell was the nephew of Robert Duke of Albany. Robert Duke of Albany became regent of Scotland upon the death of King Robert III in April 1406 and hence had title and authority to grant such a title. Robert of Albany rewarded many of his supporters after the death of Robert III in an attempt to gain their long term support. It appears the movement to Fortingall occurred as a result of one of those rewards given to his nephew, John Campbell. The Campbells placed MacGregor tenants on these lands to establish a secure settlement. [Neil MacGregor]

[10] 1527 document: Gregour Dougalsoune. This Gregor appears to be the 3rd son of Sir Dubhgall MacAne VcDubhgall and it was his great grandfather who arrived with the Campbells in Fortingall in 1406. His older brother Seamus became the Dean of Lismore. Gregour was married to a Christian Murra (Christian Murray) who appears to have come from the family of the Murrays of Tullibardine. Gregor lived the latter part of his life at Balloch and was forceably removed from Balloch by Sir Colin Campbell of Glenorchy in 1552.
John Dougalsoune. John was the brother of Seamus and Gregor and died 1564. He lived at Fearnan on Loch Tay.
William Dougalsoune. William appears to be the brother of Seamus, Gregor and John (4th most likely). His birth date is not known but as he is listed last is likely to be younger.
