 Clan MacQuarrie: A History
A genealogy said to have been authenticated by one of their chiefs (Alan, of whom later) claims them as a branch of the house of Alpin, descended from Godbredus, second son of prince Gregory, son of Alpin Ruadh (or red-haired), a king of Scotland in the eighth or ninth century of our era.
Their family, the Cenel Loairn or House of Lorne, occupied the lands of Lome and the adjacent islands, and the lands at the southern end of the Great Glen.
His descendants, including the Clan MacQuarrie, claimed descent from the ancient kings of the house of Lorne, and perhaps grafted Macbeth onto their pedigree because he was the most famous representative of their house, rather than because of a real biological relationship.
