b: Abt. 1565 in Invernahyle, Appin, Argyle, Scotland
Mother: Helen Margaret Campbell of Dunstaffnage
b: ABT 1570 in Dunstaffnage, Argyll, Scotland
Duncan was not fond of his father's warlike ways and preferred the pastoral pursuits of farming over fighting. In an attempt to build a bridge between the feuding families of Stewart of Invernahyle and Campbell of Dunstaffnage, Duncan married the daughter of his father's mortal enemy, for which his father was apparently very slow to forgive him.

more precious than gold - keepers of the kingdom
Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm saying,
"Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me." ~ Job 38:1-2 ~ |
It is the intent of this research to look at historical and factual evidence of history that has been both proven as authentic and that is still under debate. There may even be theories here based on historical findings.
History fascinates me. Our family history is something I feel very strongly about leaving for generations to come. One day, it will mean more to them than they may ever truly know. They're the future of this family legacy. Legends involving the Stewart Clan have been told for centuries. Some things we may never know. Some, we are not meant to know; and then there are those, we should not seek to know. |
STEWARTS OF APPIN
Clan Stewart of Appin is the West Highland branch of the Clan Stewart and have been a distinct clan since their establishment in the 15th century. Their Chiefs are descended from Sir James Stewart of Perston, Scotland - who was himself the grandson of Alexander Stewart, 4th High Steward of Scotland.
His cousin, Walter Stewart, the 6th High Steward of Scotland married Marjorie Bruce, the daughter of King Robert the Bruce, and their son Robert 2nd was the first Stewart Monarch. The Stewarts of Appin are cousins to the Royal Stewart Monarchy.
The Appin Stewarts, also known as “The Loyal Clan”, is the West Highland branch of the royal surname Stewart, descend from Sir James Stewart of Perston, 4th son of Sir John Stewart of Bonkill, second son of Alexander, the 4th High Steward of Scotland. Sir James was the grandfather of John Stewart of Innermeath, who, through marriage to Isabell MacDougall of Lorne, became the first Stewart Lord of Lorne. The Lordship of Lorne passed down for 2 more generations to Sir John Stewart, the third Stewart Lord of Lorne.
Appin is located on the Scottish West Coast between Benderloch to the South and the Ballachulish Narrows to the North in modern day Argyll. Today the primary towns include Port Appin and Portnacroish. Both are scenic and are surrounded by forests and water. To the West are islands including the island of Lismore, home to the MacLea and the Baron Buchull, keeper of the Buchull Mhòr (the crosier of St. Moluag), adherents of Appin. There are numerous sights of interest including Ardsheal's Cave, Castle Stalker, the Clach Ruric, Cnap a-Chaolais, Eilean Munde and Keil churchyard.
