The Clan MacMillan Society of Scotland. Clan MacMillan. compiled by theClan MacMillan International Centre at Finlaystone, the Scottish home ofChief George MacMillan. at http://www.clanmacmillan.org/
"The early ancestry of the M'millan chiefs is given in the collection ofWest Highland and Island genealogies generally known as MS 1467 (from thedate at which these pedigrees were at first thought to have been compiled- though they are now usually dated to about the year 1400). The MS 1467pedigree goes from the clan's namefather Gilchrist Maolan / Gillemaol toMalcolm Og, who must therefore have been chief in about 1400."
"The line from Malcolm Og to Alexander MacMillan of Knap can be deducedwith some degree of confidence, but from Alexander's son Malcolm toArchibald MacMillan of Dunmore it is by no means certain; the doubtfulconnections being indicated on the pedigree below by dotted lines. Itshould be remembered that not all the people shown on this genealogy werechiefs of the clan; and that not all the early chiefs of the clan areshown on it (the chiefship in medieval times being shared betweendifferent lines according to Celtic succession practices). It is alsoassumed that other descendants of Malcolm mac Alexander of Knap may havebeen the rightful chiefs in the sixteenth and seventeenth century beforesurrendering the leadership of the clan - in so far as they ever actuallyexercised it at this time - to the wealthier and better-connected Dunmorefamily.

I am guessing that Malcolm Mor (1st of Knap) MacMillan son of MaolmurDubh (Myles) Macmillan in Bygone Lochaber is the same as Malcolm Mor(Gillacoluim moir mhie) son of Maolmur Macmillan in "Celtic Scotland: AHistory of Ancient Alban." By William F Skene (1890) (Page 489). (Fromthe manuscript of 1467 and MacFirbis.)
