I have been reading this developing history with great interest. I can trace my Macqueens back to about 1760 in the lowlands (Eaglesham) and I have been trying to ascertain how and why they settled there. I wondered if this followed the battle at Preston. Does anyone know? My Macqueens are tightly linked to the Stewarts and the Hamiltons who were from the lowlands. It is possible that they link to the Macqueens of Braxfield (who unfortunately prospered extremely well in the judiciary at that time) - and who were, in turn, directly linked to the Corrybrough clan chattan. I would be really interested in any help in understanding how and when Macqueens settled in the lowlands. sincerely Dawn Dawn (married to John Stewart Macqueen)
