The names here are different from those in the former entry, with few exceptions. They are Duncan, son of Macbeth, son of Hugh or Ay, Malachi, Comgall, Gilchrist M’Kinnon, and Malcolm M’Millan, Comgall M’Caennaig (M’Coinnich or M’Kenzie?) In this entry we have the place which is read Altere and Alterin by Mr Whitley Stokes. It is here entered as Aldin Alenn, as it is in a former grant entered as _Altin_. In no case is the _er_ written in full, so that Alterin is a guess. But there is no doubt that _Aldin Alenn_ and _Alterin alla_ are the same place. If it be _Alterin_ the _Alla_ may mean rough, stony, as opposed to a more level and smooth place of the same name. It will be observed that in this entry the name of a clan appears _Clande Canan_ (_Clann Chanain_). There was such a clan in Argyleshire who were treasurers of the Argyle family, and derived their name from the Gaelic _Càin_, a Tax. It is not improbable that the name in Buchan might have been applied to a family of hereditary tax-gatherers. The next series of grants entered on the margin of the “Book of Deer” are as follows:--Colbain Mormaor of Buchan, and Eva, daughter of Gartnait, his wife, and Donnalic M’Sithig, the Toiseach of Clenni Morgainn, sacrificed all the offerings to God and to Drostan, and to Columcille, and to Peter the Apostle, from all the exactions made on a portion of four _davachs_, from the high monasteries of Scotland generally and the high churches. The witnesses are Brocein and Cormac, Abbot of Turbruaid, and Morgann M’Donnchaid, and Gilli Petair M’Donnchaid, and Malæchin, and the two M’Matni, and the chief men of Buchan, all as witnesses in Elain (Ellon). The names in this entry are Colban, the mormaor, a name obsolete now--although it would seem to appear in M’Cubbin--Eva, and Gartnait. The former seems to have been the Gaelic form of Eve, and the latter, the name of Eva’s father, is gone out of use, unless it appear in M’Carthy--Donnalic (it is Donnachac, as transcribed in the edition of the Spalding Club), M’Sithig or Donnalic M’Keich, the surname well known still in the Highlands--_Brocein_, the little badger, _Cormac_, _Morgan_, _Gillepedair_, _Malæchin_, the servant of Eachainn or Hector, and _M’Matni_ or M’Mahon, the English Matheson. There is another instance here of a clan, the clan Morgan.
