	The Irish Kings of Dalriada
		It is on a hill in County Meath, Éire, and its mention in a list of Kings of Dalriada implies that the Dalriada, or "race of Riada," are descended from the High Kings.
		The Dalriada crossed the North Channel from Ireland to Kintyre in Scotland, eventually establishing a kingdom around Argyll.
		It is from Loarn that the MacKays claim descent.

	The Tribe of Loarn
		At the time of Ferchar Fota's reign, Dalriada was a weakened kingdom; the throne was fleetingly held by the various claimants, and the Scots were dominated by the Picts.
		3 Ruadri was the brother of Muiredach, the last king of Dalriada to come from the Tribe of Loarn (died around 736).
		The pedigree of the Tribe of Loarn is given in Table 2.

	Dalriada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dalriada was named for the clan known as the Dál Riata whose origins were in the coastal region of north-east Antrim.
		The earliest settlement from Dalriada in Ireland to Scotland was probably in the late Second Century when Cairbre Riada, Son of Conary, King of Ireland, and Grandson of Con of the Hundred Battles, established a presence on the west coast of Alba.
		In the early part of the Sixth Century Fergus moved the capital of Dalriada to Dunadd in Scotland and from this point forth, the Irish Dalriada was subservient to the Scottish kingdom.

	Clan MACLAREN
		From Argyleshire the tribe of Laurin moved into Perthshire, having, it is said, acquired from Kenneth Macalpine, after his conquest of the Picts in the 9th century, the districts of Balquhidder and Strathearn, and three brothers are mentioned as having got assigned to them in that territory the lands of Bruach, Auchleskin, and Stank.
		Another more plausible derivation is that from Loarn, one of the three sons of Erc, who crossed from Ireland in 503, and founded the infant Kingdom of the Scots.
		From these settlers the district about Loch Awe got its name of Earrha Gaidheal, or Argyll, the "Land of the Gael," and from Loarn or Lorn, the youngest of the three brothers, the district of Lorne immediately to the westward is said to have taken its name.

	ScottishDalRiada
		The domain of the kingdom of Dal Riada in Alba, or Scotland, was established by three sons of Eirc, Fergus Mor, Loarn and Aengus at present-day Dunadd, near the mouth of the River Add where it empties into Crinan Loch in Argyll.
		The Dalriada expansion westward and northward across Alba and into the lands of the Picts continued relatively unabated until the 10th Century.
		As noted before, the expansion of Dalriada was accomplished not so much by invasion, as by the joining together in marriage of the Dalriadans and the Picts.
