MacIntyre of Glenoe

I had intended conducting further research for this entry for inclusion within volume 10 of the Red Book but I doubt there’s very much more of any real substance that could be added to it. It is therefore included here as free to access. The Glenoe writs are to be found at NRS GD112/2/79 and commence in April 1656. A useful inventory of all papers which existed at the time the wadset of Glenoe was redeemed in 1770 is at NRS GD112/2/79.

Note: Donald Macolcallum in Glenoe and his son John dubh are named in a writ dated 31 December 1585 (see NRS GD112/2/81/14) but it is uncertain if they were ancestors in the male line of MacIntyre of Glenoe.
