Families covered: Bayne (Bane or Bain) of Tulloch
| 'Bayne' is derived from the Gaelic word 'ban' which means white or blond/fair-haired. As this was a descriptive name rather than a location-derived name, it is unlikely that all families with the name (or variations such as Bain or Bane) share the same root. The 'Heritage' site reports that "Various conjectural theories regarding its origins have been offered from time to time by writers some deriving it from Donald Bane, for a time King of Scotland, others from James Bayne, Bishop of St Andrews, and still others from the Mackays of Strathnaver. The Baynes of the Lowlands may have had royal or an ecclesiastical progenitor but the Baynes of the Highlands, there is reason to believe, were descended from a prominent fair-haired Mackay." 'Clan Bain History' in the 'ScotClans' site (see here) supports the latter view and reports why the Bains broke away from the Mackays. The story is given on the continuation. | |||||||||||||||
