CONAN OF GLENEROCHIE, was a younger son of Henry, Earl of Atholl, and to

whom his father assigned the lands of Glenerochie. He made a grant of the woods

of these lands to the monks at Coupar Angus in around 1240x45, in which he is

styled “Conan son of Henry, Earl of Atholl”1 and granted the dead wood of his

lands of Tulyhen to the Abbey of Lindores in 1240x1245.2 He was father of :

1. Ewen of Glenerochie, (see below).

2. A daughter, who m. Hath, son of Gilbrid. He is styled “genero” to Conan when

witness to a charter by Conan to the Abbey of Lindores.3

EWEN OF GLENEROCHIE, is styled son of Conan when witness to his father’s

charter to the Abbey of Lindores in around 1240x1245.4 He granted his lands of

Calziebrochan to the Monks of Coupar Angus Abbey in 1282 to be held by them

of Ewan and his daughters and their respective husbands as superiors. He m.

Muriel, daughter of Conghal, grandson of Malise, Steward of Strathearn, and d.

without male issue before 1284. Although his daughters were his heirs in certain

portions of his estate including Calziebrochan, he was ultimately succeeded in his

lands of Glenerochie by the Robertsons of Struan as heirs male.

ANDREW DE ATHOLIA, is the first ancestor of the Clan Donnachaidh for whom

there is evidence. He is styled father to Duncan de Atholia and grandfather to

Robert de Atholia in several documents executed in the first half of the 14th

century. Tradition states that he m. the daughter and heiress of Angus de

Glenerochie with whom he acquired those lands, however, in consideration of the

destination of those lands being exclusively to the heir-male this cannot be

correct, therefore, a male descent from the Earls of Atholl is proved.1 He was

father of,

DUNCAN DE ATHOLIA, had a charters for the lands of Discher and Toyer from

Duncan, Earl of Fife, in around 1343,2 then for the lands of Appin of Dull from

John, Bishop of Dunkeld, in December 1355 in both of which he is styled son of

Andrew de Atholia, and succeeded as heir-male to the lands of Glenerochie,

Struan and others. He is said to have m. firstly, a daughter of Malcolm, 5th Earl of

Lennox, with whom he acquired lands in Rannoch and Fortingal, and secondly, a

daughter of the Lord of the Isles, but there is no proof for either marriage. He is

considered to have d. between 1355-1357 and was father of :

1. Robert de Atholia, (see below).

2. Patrick Duncanson, 1st of Lude, (see Robertson of Lude).

3. Gibbon, is said to be a brother of Robert de Atholia and Patrick Duncanson and

was one of the Captains during the Angus raid in 1392.

ROBERT, SON OF DUNCAN DE ATHOLIA, who, tradition states, was named Robert

at the request of King Robert I. in memory of when he sought refuge in Atholl

following defeat at the battle of Methven in June of 1306 but chronology does not

support that. He m. firstly, to the daughter and heiress of Sir John Stirling, of

Glenesk, and had issue ;

1. Jean de Atholia, m. Alexander Menzies of Fortingall, to whom her father

granted a charter for various lands during the reign of David II. and in which

descends the Robertsons or Reids of Straloch, (see Robertson of

Straloch).

produced a precept by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, and requested that it be
