A Short History of Bonshaw
A Short History of Bonshaw
According to ancient family traditions (which are largely supported by known historical fact, and were first recorded in The Original of the Family of the Irvines or Erinvines, written in 1678 by Dr. Christopher Irvine, M.D., Historiographer Royal of Scotland) the Irvings of Bonshaw are descended from Duncan, known in the family as Duncan of Eskdale, a younger brother of Crinan, the husband of Princess Beatrix and father of King Duncan I of Scotland. The paternal grandfather of Duncan of Eskdale and Crinan was Duncan, hereditary Abthane of Dule and lay abbot of Dunkeld.
