Fact ?[edit]

This pages is stating information that cannot be verified historically as fact - Uther Pendragon and the other characters from the Arthur legend are not presented here is literary figures, as they should be. This impacts the validity of this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rfirla (talkcontribs) .

In view of the previous tagging, and the above complaint, I have redone the article. The Arthuriana remains buried in the article history, so if someone wishes to create an article on that, then it is always there, but cross-contamination of fiction and fact (see Talk:List of legendary kings of Britain) should be avoided. Given the total absence of any information on this personage, the article largely deals with the Cenél nGabráin — the kingroup which probably took this Gabrán as their eponymous ancestor. I followed the same route on Loarn of Dalriada, which deals with the Cenél Loairn. When I get around to it, I will do the same for the Comgall of Dalriada and the Cenél Comgaill and Óengus Mór and the Cenél nÓengusa, although there's presently no article to attach that last to.

Cenel Gabrain in Southern Pictland[edit]

Alex Woolf, Gilbert Markus and others, accept that Gowrie was named its inhabitants, i.e., Cenel Gabrain. A seperate Irish genealogical tract tells that Clan Fergus Goll (son of Eochaid Buide) were settle in Gowrie.

James Frazer in his paper "The Iona Chronicle , the descendants of Aedan mac Gabrain, and the 'Principal Kindreds of Dal Riata", tells the reader that the descendants of Conaing mac Aedain were active in Kintyre. While the descendants of Tuathalan mac Aedain were in turn active in Skye. https://ssns.org.uk/resources/Documents/NorthernStudies/Vol38/Fraser_2004_Vol_38_pp_77_96.pdf
