Notes about Duncan Atholia Duncan the Stout in Battle Donnachaid Reamhar 5th Earl of Glenerochie, 1st Cheif of Clan DONNACHAIDH DD

Duncan's Gaelic name was 'Donnachaid Reamhar'.
The Clan's first recognized Chief was Donnachadh Reamhair, or "Stout Duncan", who led the clan and supported Bruce during the wars of Scottish independence which culminated in Bruce's famous victory at Bannockburn on June 24, 1314 over Edward II's army. The most precious clan relic, the celebrated rock crystal charm stone of the clan, the "Clach na Brataich" or "ensign stone", was unearthed when the chief's standard pole was pulled from the ground while on the march to Bannockburn. It has been carried by all chiefs since then when leading the clan to battle. Stout Duncan had four sons. The three younger sons: Patrick, Thomas and Gibbon, were outlawed by King Robert III for their part in leading the daring "Raid of Angus" in 1392 which garnered 3,000 head of fat Angus cattle, laid waste the district of Angus and resulted in the death of the Sheriff of Angus and a host of his followers who had pursued the clan back to Atholl.
The Chiefs of Clan Donnachaidh are numbered from this Duncan the Stout (stout in battle rather than in belly), although there is now strong theory that the Clan originator would have been his paternal great-grandfather, Duncan, son of Malcolm, 2nd Celtic Earl of Atholl.

Had a charters for the lands of Discher and Toyer from Duncan, Earl of Fife, in around 1343 and the lands of Appin of Dull from John, Bishop of Dunkeld, in December 1355 and in both of which he is styled as son of Andrew de Atholia. He held lands in Rannoch from his first wife, and succeeded to the lands of Glenerochie (Glen Errochty) and was an adherent of King Robert I (The Bruce), with whom he fought at the battle of Bannockburn in June of 1314. His son Robert (perhaps called after Bruce) inherited land from his own mother and his estate ran from the edge of the Grampians to the gates of Perth.
