  • Mccowns in Lorn
    McCowns in Lorn As you know, I spent four weeks at Dunollie House in Oban, the Seat of Clan MacDougall, studying a collection of historical documents preserved by the MacDougall family. The collection is being newly archived in renovated rooms of the wing of Dunollie House that was built in 1745 when the family moved down from Dunollie castle. The project, described on www.dunollie.org, is a major step for the MacDougall of Dunollie Preservation Trust. Subsequent stages will turn Dunollie into a significant historical and archaeological center. My minor role this last summer is somewhat described in the History section of www.dunollie.org and in my trip report for the MacDougall McCallum Heritage Foundation at http://www.macdougallmccallumheritagefoundation.org/1. The area around Oban, in fact all of Lorn, is a very comfortable location for McCowns. The name is known. Although our numbers are not great, MacCowns have been here for centuries and most people assume you or your people probably belong here. The name can be found on tombstones in surrounding cemeteries. There is a plaque on the wall outside the Argyll and Bute offices in Oban to Provost Hugh McCowan, founder of An Comunn Gàidhlig (ACG) in 1891 and the first Gaelic Mòd in Oban in 1892. In an email exchange with Leonard McCown, on his last birthday, I said I had pulled together some reflections and observations on McCowns that I had made during and before my stay, and promised to circulate them to him and others who might have an interest. I have since made that same promise to other McCowns.
