	Macpherson
		Despite the clan allegiance of Scottish Gillespies to Cluny, the Chief of Macpherson, the name rarely appears on the stones lying in the graveyards of the clan-land villages of Kingussie, Laggan or Newtonmore.
		It is quite possible that, long before the '45, Gillespies living within Macpherson clan lands in the Badenoch area changed their name to Macpherson by ascription between the mid 14th and 15th centuries.
		Scots Gillespies are bonded as an associated family of the Macpherson clan because of the 13th century progenitor of clan Chattan, the 'Clerich', Gillespic, and tracing the genealogy of his offspring, Gillicattan Mor Mac Gillespic, through the ages brings us to present day Macphersons.

Wilgus (in his article "Fiddler's Farewell: the Legend of the Hanged Fiddler," 1965) finds evidence of the existence of an earlier MacPherson in Ireland with an almost identical story.
