A branch of the MacIvers were Captains of the Castle of Inveraray, where the standing stone in the grounds of the castle was said to have been the boundary between the lands of the MacIvers and the MacVicars. The leading family of the MacIver Campbells were the MacIvers of Lergachonzie and Stronshira. According to Ane Accompt, Iver's mother was to have been a daughter of Suibhne, who was the founder of Castle Sween, and is thought to be a member of the kindred of Anrothan who held lands in Cowal, Glassary and Knapdale (Suibhne is claimed as the eponymous ancestor of the MacSweens). Īccording to Ane Accompt of the Genealogie of the Campbells, the eponymous Iver was one of two illegitimate sons of Colin Maol Math (the other illegitimate son being Tavish Coir, from whom the MacTavishes claim descent). According to legend, a stronghold of the MacIvers was the ancient fort of Dun Mor (Dunmore), located near Lochgilphead. McIan considered the MacIvers to have descended from Duncan, Lord of Lochow, making them descend from the same stock as the Campbells. Ĭampbell claimed that the MacIvers originated in Glenlyon, and settled in Argyll in 1222. According to Campbell of Airds, the modern Clan MacIver is also a dubious a concept because it encompasses all MacIvers regardless of their origin, and that the "modern game of clan-constructing is again being played". Campbell was ultimately unsuccessful in his bid for chiefship. Principal Campbell, at the time publication of his Account, was petitioning the Lord Lyon King of Arms to recognise him as "Chief of Clan Iver". Campbell confused matters with his Account of the Clan Iver. Campbell of Airds maintains that the Victorian Principal P. McIan, from The Clans of the Scottish Highlands, published in 1845.Īccording to Alastair Campbell of Airds, it is very unlikely that there is a common origin for one Clan MacIver. A Victorian era romanticised depiction of a member of the clan by R. An early man bearing the surname MacIver was Malcolm McIuyr, whose appears on a list of men in the Sheriffdom of Argyll/Lorne in 1292. The Gaelic personal name Ìomhar is derived from the Old Norse Ivarr. The surname MacIver is an Anglicisation of the Gaelic MacÌomhair "meaning son of Ìomhar". There exists a Clan Iver society in Fife, Scotland. Various forms of the surname MacIver, like MacGiver, are considered sept names (followers or members) of several historically large Scottish clans, such as clans Campbell and Mackenzie. The clan name of MacIver is of Gaelic origin, derived from an Old Norse personal name. Because of this the clan can be considered an armigerous clan. The clan, however, does not have a chief recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms.
