History
Origins of the Clan
 Clan Arthur territory around Loch Awe It is the MacArthur clan tradition to say that they are descended from the legend of King Arthur but of course King Arthur is just a mythical legend[citation needed] with no historic evidence or proof that he ever existed.[citation needed] However, during the extensive genealogical research for the rightful heir to the Chiefship, it was discovered that King Arthur's "original" Coat of Arms bore 3 antique crowns. Also discovered was the fact that Clan Arthur's "original" Coat of Arms had the Christian cross added during the Crusades.[citation needed] Thus leaving Clan Arthur's Coat of Arms with having, "originally", 3 antique crowns. The three Crowns on Arthur's coat of arms may all so have come from the alliance's Staint Columba of Iona (capital of Dal Riata} had made, before ordaining Arthurs father Aidan mac Grabain as king of Dal Riata in the late 6th century.[citation needed] Image File history File links MacArthurMap. ...
