I meant to add, although there are variations in the gaelic name MacMhuirich/MacVurich/MacVarich etc. the name is known as 'Currie' (Anglicised) from which I descend.



Annie, that is new to me. Thanks for that. Have always wondered what McVarish morphed into over time as it pretty much disappeared in the area of my research. Ronald MacDonald/MacIsaac was married to Ann McVarish early 1800s in the Loch Shiel/Acharacle area. They are my 4x greats.

I find this Alasdair MacMhaighster Alasdair discussion interesting as he is living in Egnaig at the same time I believe my ancestors had that Tack. Hence, he was probably a close relative. It leads back to Dalilea and Benbecula. I was wondering whether Egnaig was a ClanRanald owned property or Kinlochmoidart.

This is an invaluable site although no longer active for posts/replies as sadly the owner of the site passed away a few years ago, himself a Benbecula man;
