MACLELLAN Lord KIRKCUDBRIGHT.
THE sirname of MacLellan is of very great antiquity in the south of Scotland. They had vast possessions in lands, and were very numerous and powerful.
David MacLellan is mentioned in a char|ter of king Alexander II.* the third year of his reign, which was anno dom. 1217.
All our historians agree, that the MacLellans of Bombie were heretable sheriffs of Galloway,* flourished with great lustre for many ages; and there were twelve knights of that sirname in the south of Scotland at one time, of which Bombie was the chief.
But as there are few of them mention|ed in our publick records, before the reign of king James I. we shall from that era be|gin to deduce their descent.
