The ancestor of the McGregor Clan is supposed to be the 10th Century
King Girig
but it is more generally assumed to have been derived from the given
name Gregory.
During the Middle Ages the Clan had a reputation for lawlessness and, as
has been
mentioned several times on the list, the name was proscribed from 1603 -
1661 and
again from 1693 - 1784 when the McGregors were required to take another name.
Nevertheless, the McGregors seems to have survived in large numbers as any
telephone
directory will show. Good luck to them.
