Nevin It is one of the Books that I will shortly ask the Ballycasle Library if they have. In 2005, when I was there, I went through his An Historical Account of the MACDONNELS Of Antrim: Including Notices of some other Septs, Irish and Scottish, Rev George Hill, 1873. It gave me the Will of an William Boyd of Dunluce. So I expect that I will spend an hour or so going through his "The Stewarts of Ballintoy". One of the Boyds, from either Portincross or Picton, wife married the Head of the Stewartsof Bute. So if it quite possible that some Boyds went there with her.
