Hi Dizzylamb , you may well be right re the McLarens moving from Lochearnhead north to Loch Tay.  my g/g/g grandparents were both McLarens , Catherine from Easter Auchraw (now Briar Cottage) and Donald from Cloichran , Loch Tay.
my g/g/g/g grandparents were also both McLarens , Donald again from Cloichran , and Mary from Ardveich , as you know just along Loch Earn from Lochearnhead.
i can only conclude that each generation were either cousins , 2nd cousins etc. , but they never seemed to be allowed to marry within their own parishes.
You will be related to me somehow , i will have a look , as i have a family tree that may help.
We all seem to get back to a period about the 1730's where the trail ends , or becomes too confusing.

yours gordon

thanks Gordon, sorry I hadnt replied earlier but my father was diagnosed with secondary cancer last September, so I was busy looking after him and helping mum until he passed away end of January, so not much time spent in genealogy.....I have looked for my Dugal on Sotlands People and can't find him, dispite trying different name varients.....any help would be very much appreciated.....:)

My mother is Margaret McLaren (Ratcliffe)......she was born to Thomas Mclaren and Rachel Ewen
My mum was raised by the side of Lochearnhead (Lavender Cottage) Her fathers brother was Douglas McLaren who owned the shop and garage at Lochearnhead........I have traced our McLarens to Mornish by the side of LochTay,Donald Mclaren, born in 1794, his father was Dugal McLaren.....I am now stuck at Dugal ,as my mum  seems to think her Mclarens came from Lochearnhead originally,word of mouth , so how true this is I don't know  :)
