Hi, I've recently found that my MCGILP ancestors were originally McKILLOP.There is also the MACGILP variation. My family came from the KILFINAN parish from about 1830,before this they were in SOUTH KNAPDALE. Does anyone out there recognise any names???? Best wishes, Helen.

Sarah MCPHAIL married John SINCLAIR in 1860 in Lochgilphead. Their youngest of 6 children was Lachlan SINCLAIR who married Jane MCGILP in 1910. All I know about Jane is that she was born in 1880.
