Clan MacDiarmid

All spellings of MacDiarmid come from the Gaelic MacDhiarmaid. Electric Scotland records that the MacDiarmids claimed to be the oldest inhabitants of Glenlyon in Perthshire, and that many of them enlisted in the company raised by the Duke of Atholl in 1706. On Loch Tayside there were two septs of the name, Rioghal ('Royal') and Dubhbhusach, and only the Rioghal sept claimed a right of burial at Cladh Dabhi. The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists no MacDiarmid chief, and the Clan Campbell Society of North America's published list of Campbell septs does not include the name.

Questions about Clan MacDiarmid

Is MacDiarmid a recognised Scottish clan?

There is no officially recognised MacDiarmid chief: the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists none. The name is often associated with Clan Campbell, but the Clan Campbell Society of North America's published list of Campbell septs does not include MacDiarmid, so that association is traditional rather than official.

Where are the MacDiarmids from?

Glenlyon in Perthshire, where Electric Scotland records that they claimed to be the oldest inhabitants of the glen.

Is MacDiarmid a sept of Clan Campbell?

The Clan Campbell Society of North America's published list of Campbell septs and associated names does not include MacDiarmid, MacDermid or any variant, so the link often made between the name and Clan Campbell is best treated as a traditional association rather than an official one.

Where did the MacDiarmids bury their dead?

At Cladh Dabhi, a walled enclosure at the south end of Ardmoyle in Morenish on Loch Tayside. Duncan Campbell records two septs of the name there, Rioghal ('Royal') and Dubhbhusach, and says only the Rioghal sept claimed a right of burial at Cladh Dabhi.
