Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. Mods feel free to move if necessary...

In doing some research of my Scottish ancestry, I've come across some conflicting information. Originally, I read that the MacNaughtons opposed Robert the Bruce and supported the Baliol clan thus sealing their fate to exile to Ireland after the Bruce's win at Bannockburn. Exiled they were until King David(?) restored their lands many years later.

HOWEVER, I've just found recently that no no, the MacNaughtons stood by the Bruce and fought valiently. It was love and love of the drink that lost them their lands. Seems that the successor to the MacNaughton clan seat was to marry the daughter of the neighbouring clan Campbell's chief. On the wedding day, Campbell got MacNaughton quite drunk and switched daughters on him and tricked him into marrying the other (apparently 'less-pretty') daughter. Angered by Campbell's trickery, MacNaughton stole away in the night with the original Campbell daughter and they eloped to Ireland, leaving Dunderave and all the MacNaughton lands to be awards to Campbell for his 'loss'.

Obviously there could be some 'fluffing' of either story to allow them to both be true or perhaps there is some false information floating about... Anyone who can speak on this, I'm all ears... I'd love to think that my ancestors, though a fool for the girl (AND the drink), fought to win Scotland her freedom but I'm just not ready to swear that just yet... Any input is welcome! Thanks!
