Clan chief



In 1860 Archibald McNab of McNab, the 17th Chief, and last in the direct male line of Chiefs, died in France at the age of eighty-three. Sarah Anne McNab, his daughter, is now considered the 18th Chief. After she died in Florence in 1894 the succession was disputed until the 1950s. After long years of research, begun in earnest in 1907, the Arthurstone Macnabbs, who were descended from a younger son of a Chief who died in 1645, were able to establish their claim. James William Macnabb of Arthurstone (1831–1915) is now deemed to have succeeded as 19th Chief, thus making his grandson James Alexander Macnabb (1901–1990) the 21st Chief de jure. However, in 1949 his uncle Archibald Corrie Macnabb bought Kinnell House, Killin, and a large part of the former macnab" target="_blank">Macnab estate from the Breadalbane Trustees, and in 1956 James Alexander Macnabb gave up his rights in favour of his uncle, whom the Lord Lyon King of Arms recognised as 22nd Chief de facto, while confirming James Charles macnab" target="_blank">Macnab as his heir presumptive.
In 1970 macnab" target="_blank">Macnab succeeded his great uncle, Archibald Corrie macnab" target="_blank">Macnab of macnab" target="_blank">Macnab, as Chief. However, he was faced with high death duties, with the result that in 1978 he had to sell Kinnell House and much of the estate. He went on living at Finlarig, Killin, until 1985, when he moved to Fife following the death of his wife's parents.
The macnab" target="_blank">Macnab lived at Leuchars Castle Farmhouse, Leuchars, St Andrews, Fife, and was a member of the New Club, Edinburgh. His elder son James William Archibald macnab" target="_blank">Macnab, (born 1963), became the 24th Chief of Clan macnab" target="_blank">MacNab on his death.
