Logan History

Hi Judith, the following article if mine may assist you. If you are in Chicago on June 17th, hope to see you at the Logan/Maclennan tent at Scottish Games.

THE LOGANS AND MACLENNANS

Part I. The Galloway Origins of the Logans by Dr. John D. MacLennan Chicago, USA

The Logans originated in the southeast of Scotland in the early 12th century. The MacLennans, according to a number of sources, are a branch of the Logans.

According to Major Logan-Home, the first Logan was Thomas (c. 1150) the son of the Prince of Galloway [p.1]. He believed Thomas Logan was the great grandson of Fergus the first Prince, grandson of Gilbert, and the second son of Malcolm of Galloway. Thomas 'de Logan' lived about the reign of King David I (c.1085-1153).1 Although the Major may be mistaken about Thomas--Alan of Galloway (d. 1234) had two sons named Thomas but I've not identified any Thomases in Gilbert's line--it is certain that the Logans were very closely linked to this family (Earl of Cassillis, p.13).

King David was educated in England. On becoming King, he introduced the Norman, feudal system of land ownership to Scotland, divided much of Scotland in to feudal baronies, particularly in the South of Scotland. Many of the feudal titles, in the Norman style, evolved in to surnames.

The main Galloway royal family came to be known as the MacDowalls. The name Dowall or Dougael means the 'Gaelic strangers' or 'newcomers' to distinguish them from the native Britannic Celts. The Logans are thus related to the MacDowalls. Through a Galloway princess, Affrica, they are also kin to the MacDonalds of the Isles and the separate clan, MacDougals of Argyle.

Ancient Galloway was divided in to two districts: Carrick and the Stewartry of Kirkudbright (which approximates modern Galloway). The districts were divided by a wilderness area and were settled by different groups. Kirkcudbright had a higher concentration of Angels from Northumbria; while Carrick was first settled by Britannic Celts and remained a Gaelic speaking area until quite late in Scottish history. In addition, there were territorial divisions owing to family feuds.

In 1174, Uchtred (or Godfred) MacDowall, son of Prince Fergus, was slain by a party led by Uchtred's younger brother, Gilbert. Gilbert then led an uprising to maintain Galloway's independence. Following Gilbert's capture, the Scots King, William "the Lion" divided Galloway between Uchtred's son, Roland, who was given modern Galloway, and Fergus and his heirs who were given Carrick.

The actual assignation of Fergus may have been committed by Roland's son, Malcolm. Malcolm, according to Major Logan-Home, was the father of Thomas of Logan [p.1]. Malcolm may be the same person referred to by the contemporary historian Fordun as Gilcolm as "a tyrant and robber chief" who rebelled against King William, in Galloway c.1178 and was crushed by Roland" [p. 478].

In an age before national boundaries became established, Carrick consisted of properties both in Ayr in Scotland and Antrim in Ireland. During the 6th and 7th century, the original Scotsmen had come from Antrim, called Dalriada in those days. For hundreds of years, their territory had spanned both sides of the Irish Sea. The MacDowalls were possibly part of the Scots colony that first came from Ulster. But records for this period are very sparse. It is known that there were earlier rulers of Galloway but these would seem to have been Britannic or Welsh Celts, not Dougaels.2

Under feudal rules, there were many split loyalties. The Logans held lands in both Galloway and Ulster on behalf of Gilbert, Lord of Carrick.

About the year 1228 King William had compelled Alan, the Lord of Galloway to invade the Isle of Man. The Lords of Galloway were a naval power. Alan, Lord of Galloway and Constable of Scotland, about 1216, commanded a fleet of one hundred and fifty vessels. The Logans appear to have taken part in this invasion and the name is still to be found there. This background may help explain how Robert Logan of Restalrig became Admiral of Scotland c.1400.3

The next Logans on record (Thomas' sons?) were Sir Robertus de Logan in Kyle (c.1165-1214), Sir Thurbrand de Logan in Dumfries (c.1196), and Robert Logan (c 1204) in Ayr. Thurbrand is the first Logan named in connection with the family homeland in Ayr, i.e., Grugar in Cunningham. Thurbrand also had an estate called Logan near Buittle and Thrieve Castle (seat of the 'Black' Douglasses) in Kirkcudbright. [Logan-Home, p. 2] The Logans continued to hold property in Ayr through the 18th Century.4

In 1225 William de Logan, Lord of Hartside and Roberton, was Sheriff of Lanarkshire. [ Logan-Home, p.3.] This William may have been the progenitor of the Logans of Dumbarton and of the MacLennans. This is because, according to a tradition of the Logans of Drumderfit in Ross, the family had originally come from Dumbarton [ Logan-Home, p.197].

Hartside and Roberton are adjacent to the town of Douglas in the Clyde Valley. Ten miles north of Douglas is the river Logan Water and about 25 miles west is the estate of Logan (by Grugar and Cumnock).5 it is one of several places could have been the source for the surname "of Logan," but tradition associates the name with the a place in Dumfries. Nearby Douglas Water is the river from which the Douglas clan takes its name.

Walter Logan succeeded William as Sheriff of Lanarkshire c. 1290 but was usurped by an English sheriff imposed by King Edward.6 It was his replacement, Hezelrig, who murdered William Wallace's sweetheart Marion Bradfoot, and and it was against him that Wallace led his first assault. The Logans would have had cause to join Wallace against Hezelrig, but the record on this is silent. Logan's neighbor, William Douglas, however, was at Wallace's side from the beginning.

Walter and John Logan, were granted lands in Luss in 1298 by Robert "de Brus", while he was still Earl of Carrick. But, Luss is listed among forfeited estates in 1306, and, in time, title passed to the Colquhans of Luss.

However, a Henry Logan was on the tax rolls of Dumbarton in 1329-65. He was granted a pass to travel through England to Flanders. Since Flanders was a battle ground for the a war with the French, he may have been a soldier of fortune. If Logan-Home is correct that he was the ancestor of the Logans of Ross, he may later have offered his services to one of the nobles of Moray or Ross.

About 1346, Roberton was forfeited to a Douglas supporter of David II. For a period of 150 years following the forfeiture of Roberton, General Logan-Home's research failed to find any evidence of Logans in Lanarkshire. [p.50].

Another branch of the Logans, called 'of Balvie,' was at one time hereditary baillies of Dumbarton. But, they are said to be descended from a James Logan (1395) who was a brother or son of Robert of Restalrig. In addition. about 1473 to 1498, Jonathan and Walter Logan are on record in connection with Gartcowell or Gertconnel.

Like the Bruces, the Logans were required from time to time to serve the kings of England—particularly during the English occupations and because of their estates in English occupied Ulster. Seven knights with the name Logan signed the Ragman Roll pledging homage to Edward I in 1296. Following the defeat at Dunbar, Walter Logan was among those impressed in to service by the English against Philip IV of France.

Around 1213, William and Walter Logan were keepers of the Castle of Carrickfergus in Antrim, Ireland, which was besieged by King John of England. After being captured, they were required to serve the English and shortly after this the Scots had their Ulster lands in Antrim restored.

This was during the age of the Crusades. Both Robert the Bruce and his son, David II, were greatly attracted to the Crusades. Neither lived to accomplish their aspiration to go to the Holy Land. However, upon his death, four of King Robert's closest comrades in arms went on a pilgrimage to the holy wars carrying the king's heart encased in silver. They were James Douglas (the 'Good'), Henry St. Clair and Robert and Walter Logan of Lanark. They did not get as far as Palestine; in Spain they stopped to assist the King of Aragonne in his fight against the Saracen infidels. All four crusaders lost their lives in the battle of Teb des Andales in 1330; however, the silver encased heart was saved and was returned to Dumfermline Abbey, Scotland. The heart on the respective coats of arms of Douglas, Logan and MacLennan eludes to this event.7

Part II. The Galloway / Moray Connection

From ancient times Galloway and Moray (which included Ross) were spawning grounds for rebellions against the crown. King MacBeth (c. 1005-57) of Shakespearean notoriety, led a successful coup d'estat from his seat in Moray against King Duncan.

Around 1184, Gilbert McDowall of Galloway led an insurrection against the crown, but was captured and Roland MacDowall used the opportunity to revenge Gilbert's murder of his father.

In the reign of William of the Lion, the M'Williams and MacKays (or MacEths) of Moray attempted to install Donald Bane M'William, as king. Roland MacDowal was compelled by the king to lead an army of his dependents against Moray. Roland helped King William annihilate M'William and his followers outside of Inverness in 1187, for which he was handsomely rewarded.

Ross was annexed to the kingdom at this time and King William gave the lands he confiscated to his own adherents. He confiscated the rebels' lands and placed them under the feudal baronial system. William also built two royal castles (c 1187), one of which was Red Castle (originally Edderdal) near Inverness, the other at Dingwall, the capital of Ross. Besides pacifying the Moray Highlanders, they were used as beachheads against the Vikings who still occupied Sutherland and Caithness.

Among those awarded land by King William was a Flemish knight named Freskin. These grants included Avoch on the Black Isle, Petty east of Inverness, Kilravoch in Nairn, and Bothwell in Lanarkshire. This Freskin was the ancestor of the Murray, Douglas and Sutherland clans.

Between 1211 and 1235 there was another series of campaigns against the rebels in both Ross and Galloway. Guthred M'William was now the leader of this rebellion but it was based out of Galloway. The support given the MacEths and M'Williams rebels by the Galloway lords, in fact, suggests they may have been related.

During this period, Fearcher Mac an t-Sagairt from the kindred of Applecross Monastery (in Western Ross) led an extended campaign in Galloway against the rebels. But, in 1211 it was Thomas of Galloway, Earl of Atholl and son of Roland, who along with Fearcher, finally defeated the rebels. Following the victory, Fearcher was promoted to Earl of Ross.

About 1210 John Byset and Walter Comyn were granted extensive lands in Ross and Inverness as reward for support against the sons of Donald Bane.

John Byset was married to King William's daughter, Agnes. He was appointed keeper of Red Castle and awarded the barony of the Aird. Together with his brother William, they owned lands stretching from the east to west of Ross including Lovat and Glenelg.

The Comyns had estates, not only in Galloway but in Moray. John Comyn was the Earl of Buchan (near Elgin).

At this time King William forcibly expelled all the native rebel clans from Ross to Western Sutherland and Assynt.

William's grandson, Alexander III, King Hacon of Norway defeated the Danes at the Battle of Largs in 1262. He then sent an army to the west of Scotland under Walter the Stewart to secure the new territories gained from the Norsemen -- including Kintail. According to the MacKenzie history of 1663 [p.56], Colin Fitzgerald of Ireland took a leading part in these events. Colin was once considered to be the father of Kenneth from whom the MacKenzies derive their name, but this tradition is now questioned.

Stewart built a fort in Kintail, not at Eilean Donan, but at a place called the Danting Isle. [Chief MacKenzie, p.56] At this time, half of Kintail belonged to the clan Mattheson or MacMahon, and the balance was awarded to Fearcher Mac an t-Sagairt, Lord of Ross.

In the next century following the abdication of John Balliol, there resulted a bitter rivalry between the followers of the Bruces and the Comyns. When King Robert the Bruce murdered John "the Red" Comyn in 1302 at Greyfriars Abbey he revived an ancient feud. Bruce as Earl of Carrick, was a descendent of Gilbert of Galloway, while the Comyns descended from Uchtred. The conflict was felt particularly in Galloway and Moray.

Bruce sought refuge in Ross, where his supporters included the Murrays and MacKenzies. But, much of the nobility of Ross and Moray were Comyns or related to them. The Red Comyn was Earl of Buchan (near Elgin). Comyn was despised by the native highlanders for his oppressive enforcement of feudal laws.

William Mac an t-Sagairt, Earl of Ross, sided with the Comyns. He captured Bruce's wife and daughter at Tain and sent them to King Edward in England, where they were displayed in cages. The vengeance that Bruce's that vented on the Comyns once he became king was known as the Herschip (or harrowing) of Buchan.

After the death of Bruce, there was a period of internal turmoil in Scotland. The original inhabitants of the Highlands held on to their ancient, untamed Celtic traditions. Family ties were all important and disputes were typically settled in combat. The other force was the feudal system adapted from the Norman England and the continent. It was a highly structured system stressing abstract property rights recorded in Latin. The church of the time was an integral part of the feudal establishment, in contrast to the earlier Culdee church which was linked to the clan system. Also at work in Scotland, was the conflict between the crown which was trying to establish centralized authority and the nobility which wanted to maintain its autonomy.

Bruce's son, David II, succeeded his father when he was still an infant. While he was a minor and later while he spent several years in exile, Scotland was ruled by as series of regents including Bruce's nephew Robert the Stewart, William Randolph, Archibald Douglas (brother to James Douglas, the "Good"), and Andrew de Moray, son of Wallace's compatriot. Douglas and de Moray generally supported David II, while the Stewart often plotted against him. In addition, Edward Balliol, with the support of the English and the MacDowals, was advancing his own claim to the crown.

The Douglas family, in particular, gained prominence during David's reign. James Douglas (d.1388), the 2nd Earl of Douglas, was the most powerful man in the kingdom next to the Stewart and controlled most of southern Scotland. But, for a number of years, he was forced in to French exile along with young King David.

Another Douglas, Archibald the "Grim", Earl of Galloway -- the illegitimate son of the "Good Sir James" who had died in Spain with the two Logan brothers -- was initially ostracized by his kinsmen. During his cousins' exile, however, he became an important defender of the Bruce cause. In return, David granted him important estates particularly in Galloway. Through marriage to Joanna Murray, the important Murray lordship of Bothwell in Lanarkshire, Red Castle, Avoch and additional properties in Galloway and Wigton. He established a powerful rival branch of the family, called the Black Douglasses.

The name Murray is the anglicized variant for 'De Morray'. They are descended from Freskin and thus cousins to the Douglasses. Andrew 'de Moray', Lord of Avoch, Petty, Croy and Alturlie and Red Castle, had been one of the patriot chiefs of the War of Independence, and was co-Regent with Wallace. He was mortally wounded at the pivotal battle of Stirling Bridge.

Meanwhile, Robert the Stewart, who was later crowned Robert II in 1371, was consolidating his own power though a strategy of placing his kinsmen in strategic positions throughout the kingdom but particularly in rebellious regions such as Moray, Ross and Galloway. Robert II was twice married and had several mistresses, and was estimated to have had twenty-two or more children. He played off his more ambitious sons against each other to keep them in check. His daughters he married to nobles whose loyalty was insured and who controlled key territories.

According to Stephen Boardman [pp. 13 and 83], "It seems certain that throughout the 1340s and 50s the Stewart was employing and maintaining mercenary troops, known as caterans (from the Gaelic ceatharn, a troop of warriors), in order to impose his lordship in Atholl, Badenoch and elsewhere. By the late 1360s the identification of the earldoms and lordships over which the Stewart, his sons and their allies exercised control as centres of cateran forces who raided neighboring lands and lordships, was forcibly made in a series of general councils and parliaments." As early as 1368, David II had admonished the Stewart and his son Alexander to control the inhabitants of their lordships and to prevent "malfactors" from moving through or being harbored within their territories. The punitive raids of Alexander's caterans against neighboring estates earned him the name, the "Wolf of Badenoch."

At the time, David II was not in a position to confront his nephew, Robert the Stewart, over his actions. David did try to strengthen his hand, however, by placing some of his own partisans in key positions. He arranged, for example, for Sir Thomas Bisset to be married to Isabella, the widow of Robert the Stewart's father. Another example was when in 1363, he designated Sir Walter Leslie to marry Euphemia, the daughter of William Ross. (Walter Leslie, incidentally, also held estates in Wigtown and Galloway.) Four years later, David compelled William and Hugh Ross (Mac an t-Sargait) to resign their rights to the earldom of Ross in favor of Lesley.

Another of the families beholding to the Stewarts was the Logans. The Logans were at the height of their influence at this time.8 The Workman's manuscript of 1565 records that Sir Robert Logan of Grugar married a heiress of Lothian family of Lestalrig or Restalrig and succeeded to that estate by 1397. This was a strategically important estate because it controlled the port of Leith outside Edinburgh. It is unlikely that the marriage would have been granted without the blessing of the king. Sir Robert was appointed Lord High Admiral of Scotland by Robert III in 1400. In that same year, Logan soundly defeated an English fleet in the Firth of Fourth.

Robert Logan of Grugar's son, also named Robert Logan, married Princess Katherine Stewart. General Logan-Home lists several sources documenting the marriage. (In one contemporary document, for example, King Robert III identifies Robert Logan for legal purposes as delecto fratri suo or my beloved brother-in-law.) This was not the first family tie between the Logans and Stewarts; John Logan of Antrim's daughter had married the son of Alan Stewart.

Katherine is thought to have been a daughter of Robert II by his third wife Euphemia Ross, daughter of Walter Mac an t-Sargait and widow of John Randolph, Earl of Moray. As such, Katherine's dowry may have included estates in Ross. Since the King's marriage to Euphemia was circa 1355 and guessing that Katherine Stewart was at least 15 years old at the time of the marriage to Logan, it is likely to have occurred no earlier than 1370 and no later than 1394. But, some sources list a daughter, Katherine, by Robert's second wife/ mistress, Elizabeth Mure; in which case and if she were the same Katherine, the marriage may have been earlier.

The first mention of Gilligorm Logan, ancestor of the MacLennans, is at the Battle of Drumnandeur circa 1372. To appreciate the events of 1372, it is helpful to review some of the complex intrigues of the era.

In October of 1372 year, Alexander Stewart of Buchan was commissioned by his father as lieutenant of the North. This included the area north of Moray including Ross, and the Sheriffdom of Inverness.

In 1372 William Mac an t-Sargait, Lord of Ross, died and Robert II reconfirmed Walter Leslie as his successor over Ross and named John Dunbar as Earl of Moray -- even though they had hitherto been allied with King David. Archibald the Grim and James, the Earl of Douglas, were also pardoned by the King and reaffirmed in their estates, despite their loyalty to King David. (The Dunbar family was related to the Douglasses of Dalkeith, a rival branch.)

The creation of this new title of lieutenant by Robert seems to have been a response to Alexander's resentment over the grants to Leslie and Dunbar and due to the difficulty Robert was having controlling the northern nobility. The title gave Alexander the authority to act on behalf of royal interests without the means. It was inevitable that Alexander would need to employ his caterans.

Boardman concluded that: "The effectiveness of Alexander's lieutenancy would rest on his ability to raise a substantial cateran force from within his own lordship to follow his royal banner into the west [from Buchan] especially as he had no major lowland earldom or lordship which could have provided him with a sufficient force of armored knights or feudal levies." [p.85] Boardman suggests that Alexander's methods were less galling to the native Gaelic culture than to the Lowland gentry.

Anderson [p. 52 ] speculates that about this time Hugh Fraser may have been appointed constable of the royal fort of Lovat, in part, to counter the caterans. Prior to then the homeland of the Frasers was in East Lothian. There is also evidence that Fraser had been paying a tribute to the Earl of Buchan, but in 1367 refused to pay it and, instead, sought the protection of the Bishop of Moray. [Peerage of Scotland, p. 155].

When Walter Leslie died in 1382, Alexander Stewart, Lord of Buchan married Leslie's widow, Euphemia, and the Stewarts regained their influence over Ross. But, Buchan shortly thereafter deserted his new wife and the Bishop of Elgin intervened to help her obtain a divorce.

In the Exchequer Rolls between 1372-77, Robert de Logan is recorded in the capacity of baillie ( a combination of crown tax collector and a deputy sheriff) for the royal burgh of Banff. The rolls record payments by the King for services rendered.9 This was not the only Logan to be appointed to such a position, Logans had also been appointed by the King as sheriffs of Lanark and Edinburgh, and baillies of Dumbarton, Holyrood and Montrose.10

The Lord of Buchan had feudal claims over the district of Banff. As the King's Lieutenant, he would also have had some responsibility for tax collection.

A reasonable inference is that Gilligorm Logan held a similar position to this Robert Logan and that he was not acting alone at Drumnandeur but on behalf of Stewart of Badenoch --or one of his allied clans, perhaps the Murrays -- in their quarrels with the Lesleys and their followers, the Frasers.
