| Notes |
- Colonel Sir Allan Maclean, 6th Baronet of Morvern, 4th Laird of Brolas, 2nd Lord Maclean10 succeeded his cousin as the 22nd Chief of the Clan Maclean in 1750. Only a year earlier Sir Allan succeeded as 4th Laird of Brolas upon the death of his grandfather.
Though Sir Allan's chiefship is the first break in the direct line of succession Sir Allan, as both third cousin of his predicessor and second great-grandson of the 15th Chief, was rightful heir and scion of the Duart line. With Sir Allan's succession, the Chieftainship of Brolas forever merged into the Chiefship of Duart. Despite inheriting the Baronetcy of Morvern Sir Allan never petitioned the Lyon Court for matriculation of the Duart Arms, as would have been proper; but rather retained the Brolas Arms throughout his lifetime.
He died without leaving an heir to his title and the title was bestowed on his closest living male relative, a fourth cousin, Sir Hector Maclean, 7th Baronet
