The MacFarlane clan originated between Loch Long and Loch Lomond in the Highlands of Scotland, where you would find Arrochar today. having the same boundaries as the Parish of Arrochar.

The MacFarlane Clan were infamous for night time cattle raids on their wealthier neighbours land leading to a full moon being known colloquially as “MacFarlane’s Lantern”.
