"Margaret was the second great granddaughter of the 10th Laird of Drum Castle in Scotland".
Sir Alexander Irvine, 10th Laird of Drum

Dr. Christopher Irvine, historian to King Charles II in 1687, stated that the Irvines, made their first appearance on the Scottish border during the reign of King Malcolm II (1002-1034). For hundreds of years, the Irvines have lived on the lands in Annandale and Dumfriesshire, Scotland, where they were once a powerful clan.

There is no district in all of Ireland so rich in armorial bearings as the neighborhood of Larne. The churchyards of Carncastle, Glynn, and Raloo abound with them. The churchyard of Raloo is overgrown with long grass and weeds, so as to be almost inaccessible. But one may pull aside obstructions and remove lichens from the tall gray tombstones; trace the arms carved upon them, and read the names of the Craigs, McDowells, Crawfords, Boyds, and others. In the churchyard of Raloo Parish, Margaret McDowell lies buried. She was the wife of Ephraim McDowell, and daughter of Robert Irvine.
