    Clan Macmillan and Their Septs’ by Somerled Macmillan

    The following is an extract from the book ‘Clan Macmillan and their Septs’ by Somerled Macmillan CHAPTER Viii. THE MACMILLANS IN GALLOWAY AND AYRSHIRE. The Galloway and Ayrshire MacMillans have long been established in these parts and rank among our oldest families there. It is the belief of some that a number of the older inhabitants were placed there by Malcolm IV in 1160, when he removed the principal families of Moray in order to prevent further risings. The Kennedys are probably of Moray stock originally for mention is made in the Book of Deer of Cormac mac Cennedg (modern Gaelic is Ceann-eitigh and means ‘ugly head’) who gave a portion of land to the Church, extending to the ‘Shielin of the Thieves,’ in 1150. Certain writers are of the opinion that the progenitor of the Galloway MacMillans came directly from Moray in 1160, while others contend that the first of the name came from Lawers sometime before the clan was forcibly removed to Knapdale in Argylishire. The writer is of the opinion that Gilbert was progenitor of the Galloway branch and the occasion of his coming south arose when he and some of his clansmen acted as an escort to Bruce in 1306, after he had been defeated by the MacDougalls at Tyndrum. Three years later he is styled as the Baron of Ken and mention is made in the Great Privy Seal of a land transaction which took place between him and a certain Robert Boyd who desired a charter from the king similar to the one which MacMillan possessed.

Due to the COVID19 Pandemic, the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games—the regular site for COSCA’s Annual General Meeting since our founding in 1976—was cancelled for 2020. As a result, COSCA’s AGM has had to be rescheduled. Due to continued closures and cancellations of large public gatherings, the decision has been made to hold this year’s AGM online, as is allowed by applicable state law. Accordingly, COSCA will convene its AGM remotely, via Zoom. We are looking at several possible dates later in this Calendar Year. The new date and time for the AGM, as well as directions how to join the meeting, will be announced soon on the COSCA website (www.cosca.scot). Please consult the website for further details.
