In the absence of positive evidence as to the precise time of their arrival, we would hedisposed to fix the year 1560, as this date corresponds with the period when the family lost their estates in Bute, and also with the circumstances of their subsequent history in this country. The first settler (his Christian name is doubtful, but is supposed to have been James) left two sons, Ninian and David, and two daughters, Jane and Christain. Ninian the elder was the father of a large family, but only three of his children, namely, Archibald, Ninian, and Cathrine, lived to mature age. These successions, however, occurred previously to the year 1600, so that the family must have been settled on this coast at least as early as 1560. .."
