A representative from the Court of Lyons has asked if of the two areas the circle above Loch Lomond is the area that you consider the seat of the MacTavish land?
I answered her thus:
I think ig MacTavishes come from the circled area above Loch Lomond:
Somewhere in the triangle formed by modernday Crianlarich, Tyndrum and Killin. This conincides with border area between Dumbartonshire, Perthshire and Stirlingshire, and clans of MacGregor, MacNab, Bucchanan, Campbell and, to north east, Murray. This should leave some flexibility as to which county to locate the seat. I imagine that the ancestral home in Argyll still exists, but has devolved since the clan's disintegration into a minor though independent family.
