THE IRVINGS OF BONSHAW

latter Duncan is now believed to have been a direct descendant of NIALL OF
THE NINE HOSTAGEs
HISTORY. According to ancient family traditions (which are largely supported
by known historical fact; and which are first recorded in the very short
family history, “The Original of the Family of the Irvines or Erinvines',
written in 1678 by Dr. Christopher Irvine, M.D., Historiographer Royal of Scotland)
the Irvings of Bonshaw are descended from DUNCAN, known in the family as
'Duncan of Eskdale', a younger brother of Crinan, the husband of Princess
Beatrix and father of King Duncan I of Scotland. The paternal grandfather of Duncan
of Eskdale and Crinan was DUNCAN, hereditary Abthane of Dule and lay abbot of
Dunkeld. The latter Duncan is now believed to have been a direct descendant
of NIALL OF THE NINE HOSTAGES, who was high King of Ireland early in the 5th
century A.D and progenitor of the oldest recorded families in Europe that
are still extant in an unbroken male line. The Duncan, as Abthane of Dule-an
ancient title connected with St. Adamnan's abbey of Dull, and dating from
nearly 200 years before the union of the Scottish and Pictish crowns in 843
A.D.-was of more consequence than any one of the seven Pictish 'Mormaers', being
second only to the king himself in power and importance. He appears to have
been appointed Governor of Strathclyde when that region was conquered by the
Saxons and given to Malcolm I of Alban (the early name of Scotland) in 946. His
residence in Strathclyde is supposed to have been the old fort of Eryvine, or
Orewyn, where the town of Irvine now stands, so we refer to him the '1st of
Eryvine'. Both Duncan and his neighbour Dubdon, Mormaer of Athole, were
killed at the battle of Duncrub c. 965 A.D., while leading their forces against a
strong rebel army of their fellow countrymen.*
