It was then that the sons of Eirc established a settlement on the west coast of Alba, in the vicinity of present-day Argyllshire.
Aidan Mac Gabhran and his wife, Ygerna Del Acqs, gave birth to eight children, the second of which was a son, born in 559, whom they named Arthur, and who became known as Arthur of Dalriada.
Along with the sons of Eirc, Christianity spread from Eire to Alba, and it was probably because of it that the Dalriada culture was able to make a steadfast foothold in Alba and then branch out like it did.

I had read in one of Gantz translations that Eochaid Ollathair (the Dagda) translates as Horse-lord All-father but there are a number of Eochaid's in the Legends.
A remarkable one being Eochaid Mac Eirc, who was supposedly king of the Fir Bolg at the time of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
I agree that Eochaid was imposed by a later order, but I believe sacral Kingship predates Celtic influence and I hold that the Dagda impregnating Boann is evidence of this and is evidence of an older matrilinear system that is represented in the Bruig.
