The accompanying text in 'The Clans of the Scottish Highlands' by James Logan begins as follows:
"SLIOCHD FHIONNON, NO MAC 'IONNON - THE MACKINNONS
Are of Royal descent, being a branch of the great Clan Alpin; and the family historians derive them from Fingon, or Findon, Grandson of Gregor, whose father was the celebrated Kenneth MacAlpin, King of Scotland. This ancestor lived about the year 900, but the name as we understand it, is one of the most ancient among the Gaël. The old chroniclers have made Findanus of it; and the poetical imaginations of the disciples of bardism have rendered the modern appellation, Mac Ionmhuinn, the son of love!"
