This has been extracted from the I.G.I. for helping others with McGregor and McKerchar research only.. We find McKerchars at Kenmore, Weem, Comrie, Fortingall and Callander. McQueens are found in the McKerchar/McGregor tree also. They are found at Crieff and Kenmore. Mallochs are found north of Loch Tay, (see Kay Liney kayliney@sol.co.uk)

In the book "Famed Breadalbane" by The Rev. Gillies we find this article and I quote: Book written about 1937.

McKercher 1638, Donald Gilechreist, Port of Loch Tay: 1769, Malcolm , Stronfearnan; Donald and Duncan Comrie: Alexander, Portbane; Donald, Aleckich; John, Rhevucky. Alexander and William McKercher of the Breadalbane Garage, Aberfeldy, are descended from the Cromie McKerachrs, John, Rhevucky, was a merchant.. He was succeeded by his son, John, who later removed to Acharn village, and whose sons were John minister of the Free Church, Fortrose; James Bank of Scotland Aberfeldy; Alexander, merchant, Aberfeldy and afterwards at Lincoln; Peter, merchant, Aberfeldy and minister of the Free Church, Kilmun; Duncan merchant, Killin and Arbroath; Roberts, Docotr of Medicine, Dalbeattie.
