• Notes

  Also called Dougal. "He was apparently alive at the date, about 1124, when he is named in the first charter of the territory of Annandale granted by King David I to his friend Robert the Bruce. The territory was to be bounded on one side by the marches of Dunegal of Stranith, and on the other by those of Ranulph the younger, then Earl of Chester. This, which is the only recorded reference to Dunegal in his own person, suggests that he was, as commonly accepted, the lord of the domain represented by the valley of the Nith, which extended from Dumfries upwards to Cumnock, including the baronies of Dunscore, Tibbers, Morton, Sanquhar, and Cumnock, Morton Castle, it is said, being the principal stronghold. Dunegal was evidently a native chief ruling his own district, but there is no further record of him." [The Scots Peerage, citation details below]
