• Notes

  Note: "Crinan, known as 'Crinan the Thane,' of the kin of St. Columba,was hereditary lay-abbott of Dunkeld and Seneschal of the Isles.He also held, with other lands, the territory called the'Abthanica de Dul,' part of which is now the parish of Dull inAtholl. He is believed to have been born about 975, and he married about 1005 Bethoc or Beatrice, daughter and heir ofMalcolm II, King of Scots. In attempting to avenge the death of his elder son King Duncan I, Crinan was slain in battle 'with nine times twenty heroes,' as the Celtic chronicler puts it, in the year 1045..."
