'rhe sept wa1 located in Crow-Leckie, in Dumbarton Co., Scotland; Gilfelan J\lcAllan and others were tried at Stirling Assizes in 1477 for the murder of Gillespie McClery. Lowry, Lowrison.-These two names are the anglicised forms of a Galloway sept, Mac Labharaigh. The Earls of Belmore, Fermanagh, whose ancestors came from Dumfries Co., are of the Lowrys of Galloway. The name is also anglicised Lowrie, and, I believe, Laurie, Lawrie, and Laurison are other forms. A sept of the 0 'Lowrys of Pictish origin ruled in South Co. Down along with 0 'Mores, 0 'Lalors, .and 0 'Loingsighs, septs of the Pictish nation. Ludovic.-This name in Scotland has been assumed for Maoldonich.
