Perthshire, particularly around the town of Killin, was the main domain of the MacNabs – but the jewel in the crown of their possessions was the small island of Inchbuie on the River Dochart, where their clan chiefs and kinsfolk rest for eternity.
• Descended from the princes of Ulster, the MacNabs also have a descent from the Abbots of St Fillan’s monastery, near Loch Earn – a diocese that was held by the family.
• Known for their great stature and strength, it was through the complex and competing loyalties of the time that they were opposed to Robert the Bruce – attempting to ambush him while he was on the run from his enemies.
