The Maclaines of Lochbuie, Mull are descended from Gillean-na-Tauighe, (Gillean of the Battle Axe), a fierce warrior who lived in the thirteenth century. One of his descendants, Eachainn Reaganach, or Hector the Stern, founded the Lochbuie Branch of the Maclaine clan. Hector's brother Lachlan the Wily founded the Duart Branch of the Maclaine clan.

Lands

Hector received his lands in the Hebrides from John, 1st Lord of the Isles in the fourteenth century, around 1350 to be precise. There on the island of Mull laid Lochbuie to the South and Duart to the East. Hector chose to build his castle, Moy Castle, at the head of the loch. Moy Castle was a beautiful Scottish towerhouse, and it remained the home of Maclaine chieftains until 1752, when Lochbuie House was built not far from the castle. Lochbuie House is a Georgian style house that sits just behind Moy Castle, overlooking Lochbuie. Moy Castle and Lochbuie House are still standing today. Lochbuie House is now owned by the Corbett family. Moy Castle is not accessible due to its old age. The years have taken their toll on the old castle.
