• Notes

  Duncan was hung at the Dunoon massacre of Clan Lamont by Clan Campbell in 1646. Duncan Lamont's son Ninian was hidden in a cave by his nurse and the British officer staying in the Lamont home when the Dunoon massacre took place in 1646.s the descendants of this Ninian that were thought to be the only living descendants of this Knockdow Lamont family until this research was done by the brother of Sharon Young Jebavy which proved the Duncan's brother John had offspring and descendants that still live on today. As far as we know, the last descendant of Ninian, Sir Norman Lamont of Knockdow died in 1897.
