Excerpted from a family history written by John M. Kenn. The Clan MacLennan , or McLennan, had its origin far back in ancient times.
Records point to descendants of a prince from Spain who settled in Ireland and later became king.
About 500 A.D. several sons of a king left Ireland and came to Scotland. There the lineage is more difficult to trace. According to one history the name Logan, or Lobban, came from this Irish background. The Logans in return settled in two areas, one in the lowlands and the other along Loch Lochy in the highlands. It is from the highland branch that our family emerges.
