Notes - McVean, from the Gaelic, MacBheathan = son of the lively one. Sources conflict as to their origins. Once sourse says they were a branch of Clan Chattan, allied with (and possibly descended from) the MacIntoshes. Whereas Deacon John McVean who authored the history of the Glen Lochay McVeans claims they were a sept of Clan MacNab. It's quite possible that both are true. It may be that the Glen Lochay McVeans are not related to their northern neighbours. Or it's possible that as they moved south they broke from Clan Chattan and allied themselves with the MacNabs.
Lived in the most remote part of Glen Lochay, in a narrow valley 5 miles from ythe top of the mountain ridge. Thru the valley flows the river Lochay which emptys from the west into Loch Tay near the villiage of Killen.
