| MGH reports that "The DINGWALLS were a Clan in Ross-shire, but finally dispersed after some sanguinary conflicts wth the Mackenzies and the murder of their Chief. Some settled in Aberdeenshire, some in Fife, but the dates and particulars are involved in uncertainty and obscurity." | |||||||||||||||
