THE McMILLAN CLA15' The origin of the clan is conflicting, as there were three branches: MacMillan I of Argyle, MacMillan· II of Braidalbam, MacMillan III of Locaber, of County Inverness. It is believed that the ancestor of the MacMillans was a brother of the Chief of the Buchanans, who flourished under Alexander II from 1214 to 1249. The original name, "Methlan," became the Gaelic "Gille Vaolain," or baldheaded, because of their clerical hair cut. Cadets of the clan of Buchanan lived at Loch Tay Perthshire. Lawlers on the north side were driven out under David II (1329-1369) by Chahnerses or Camerii. MacMillan had ten sons, some went to Braidalba)Jl and were the ancestors of the Ardournag and others. Those who went to Argyle settled in the southern part, under the. chief MacMillan of Knap, on property obtained from the Lord of the Isles. The charter is graven on the top of a rock at the boundary, was in Gaelic. Here they ro.se to considerable importance. The burial ground-Chapel ·of Kilmorie was built by them. There is a cross twelve feet. high, covered by beautifully executed foilage and ornaments amid which is represented a spirited deer hunt. On one side in rude Saxon is engraved: ';Haec est Crux, Alexander MacMillan." One branch of the MacMillans at Loch Arkaig in Lochaber were loyal followers of Lochiel. Tradition says they were removed by Malehorn IV (1153-1165). and placed on Crown Lands at Loch Tay, Perthshire. The estate of the Lawlers belonged to them. They were driven from Lawlers in the 14th Century. Some went to Knapdale on the Argyllshil'e coast while others went to Galloway. 1 The Knapdale branch attained considerable power· and influence. Chief M.ac­ :Millan of Knap was a person of acknowledged importance in the district. In time the Knap fmnily became extinct and Chief ·MacMillan· of Dunsmore became the head. · He lived on an estate on the south side of Loch Taberet. One, na1ned Marallachmor, who is called "the Stranger," established himself at Knapdale and became obnoxious by his pride and harshness, particularly to the son of the Great MacMillan, who resided at Kilchamag, and having slain this 111an, was obliged (with his six associates) to leave the country. He retired to Lochaber, where Lochiel took them under his protection and granted them some lands beside Lochar­ caig. They were connected here with the Clan Chattan. One of the Ghille Mhaoil subsequently returned to Argyle and took up his resi­ dence at Badokennan, by the head of Loch Fyne, and was father of the McMillans of Glenn Shera, Glenshera and others. On the extinction of the fa1uily of Knap, MacMillan of Dunmore, on the south side of Lake Tabert, became chief. When this house becan1e extinct, the Campbells claimed the land but were opposed by the MacNiels. It was settled by the Camp~ll Clan purchasing the laud ( 1775), Sir A-rchibald Campbell of Inverniel. In the late 17th Century there arose a great quarrel between MacGhillo'onies (of Camerons) when in a collision with a body of twelve men, one Gille Mhaoile was killed and they made off to the hills to avoid the consequences and wait until the wrath of the Gille Mhaoile had· subsided. Mac Mhaoile loudly demanded permission fron1 Lochiel to 1narch against the fugitives and if prevented would wreak vengence on the whole tribe. Pennission was granted and all but twelve were killed or imprisoned without the loss of a life .of a Mac Mhaoile, although some seventy were wounded. Another tradition is that Mac Millan of Knap-Gille Easpnig ban happened to kill some person of consequence in a chaud melee at a fair, fro1n which he fled, pu1·sued. Breathless he reached the Earl of Argyle's castle, rushed in, made his way to the kitchen where the cook was baking. He put on the cook's clothes and began to knead barley bannocks. He eluded. his pursuers, made "assythment" for the slaughter· and lived in peace afterward. His 1)0sterity, because .of this e,·ent, were called Mac Bhacstear (son of a baker). The patriarch lived at Glendaruel in the district of Cowal. • N.B.-Ohief of the Olan of 11lac Jlillan is Niel ]lac JI-Ulan, Esq. The Mac JIUlans of Galloway are a. well knou:n branch of the fa.m,Uy. In some parts of Argyllshire the Jfac Millan:~ are known as "Na BeHch" (the Bells). This is a clan of tile Mac Mi-llan Society in Glasgow. The Mac .Jlillans were depcn..dcnts on the Olan of Cameron (Crooked Noses). Ref. Scottish Clans and their Tarans. Costumes of Olans in Scotland,. Family Na mes an.d Stories.
