The Genealogy of Maclachlan.- Keneth son of John son of
Lachlan son of Patrick son of Lachlan mor son of Patrick
son of Gilchrist son of Dedalan called the clumsy son of
Henry from whom are descended also the clan Niell. Catharine
the daughter of Duncan Maclamon was the mother of Keneth,
Patrick and Gilespic. Agnes, MacDonald's daughter, was
John's mother, and Elizabeth daughter of the Lord of Cowall,
was the mother of Lachlan og; the mother of Patrick was the
daughter of Donald son of Eiri son of Keneth Lord of Kerry
and the daughter of Lachlan mac Rory was the mother of
Patrick of Atholl.

Alexander son of Ewen son of Peter son of Alexander mor

son of Dugall son of Gilespic son of Duncan; Duncan son of
Gillespic son of Duncan son of Malcolm son of Imair son of
Duncan; Neill son of Colin son of Duncan son of Dugall; Persuin
son of Duberan son of Duncan.

The line "mc Anradan conerguid clanna Niel nai giall"
is mistranslated by the editor - it should read "son of
Anradan where it converges with the Clan Neill Nai Giallach."
This is probably the reason why Skene included the MacNeills
in this group of descendants of Anradan.
