Agnes Valerie Collins married 1952 "WILLIAM JERVIS ALASTAIR LIVINGSTONE OF BACHUIL , Chief of the Highland Clan MacLea, Coarb of St Moluag, Hereditable Keeper of the Great Staff of St Moluag, Baron of the Bachuil ‘by the Grace of God' Alasdair Mconlea na Maconlea agus Bachuil, Baran a' Bhachuill, so recognised by Lord Lyon King of Arms and matriculated arms at LO 2003 for himself and in memory of his great-great-grandfather John Livingstone of Bachuil, Baron of the Bachuil and his descendants"
Burke's gives this history:
"The LIVINGSTONEs are hereditary keepers of the bachuil or staff
of St Moluag, who, having trained with St Comgall at Bangor (Co Down),
founded his first great community in 562 on the Isle of Lismore, the sacred
island of the Western Picts. Moluag was an Irish noble of the Dál nAraide (a
Gaelic clan that settled in Argyll from NI and founded the Kingdom of
Dalriada) and on his death his heirs and successors, the Coarbs kindred of
St Moluag, hereditary Abbots of Lismore, had as their symbol of authority
the Bachuil Mor or Great Staff of the Saint, which remains in the keeping of
the Coarbs, now, in the language of feudalism, the Barons of the Bachuil,
chiefs of the MacLeas, whose name evolved from Maconleas, originally
M'Dunleas. The ‘d' disappears through euphonistic elision in Gaelic and
there is little doubt that their eponymic ancestor was Dunsleve, the s of
Aedh Alain, s of Anradan/Anrothan, younger son of Aedh Athlamhan (‘The
Handy'), King of Ailech 1030–33 (see O'NEILL OF CLANNABOY). The
MacLeas came to use the name Livingstone when in the Lowlands,
probably as political prudence in the turbulence of the 1640s and 1650s
following the grant to James Livingston of Skirling, Baron of Biel, Keeper of
the Privy Purse, of a lease of the lands and teinds (tithes) of the bishoprics
of Argyll and the Isles. Charter evidence begins with a confirmation by the
then Master of Argyll, who had recently acquired the feudal superiority of
Lismore, 9 April 1544, in favour of John Mc Molmore vic Kevir, in respect of
himself, his father, grandfather, great grandfather and predecessors,
Coarbs of the Blessed St Moluag in the Baronage of Argyll and the Isles, as
recognised by the Parliament of Scotland in 1399."
