As one leaves Loch Awe to the north, following along the River Orchy, the Bridge of Orchy is found lying just south of the much smaller Loch Tulla. Nestled just a little north of Loch Tulla is Achallader. And almost due east of Ardbrecknish is Loch Earn, with Ardvorlich on its south shore and Dundurn to the east. Southward lies Callander near Loch Venachar, to the east of which one finds Drumvaich, Doune and Dunblane.

| 11. | Lt. Allan MacNab (5.Robert3, 2.Robert2, 1.Robert1) was born in 1768 in England; died on 03 May 1811 in Fuentes d'Onoro, Spain. Notes:
Lt. MacNab was Usher of the Black Rod in York. (The "Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod" was an officer of the Legislative Council of Upper Canada, as he is to-day of the Senate at Ottawa. He is sent to desire the attendance of the Commons at the opening of parliament, and he is responsible for arrangements for invitations, seating, etc. Bourinot's Parliamentary Procedure, page 168.)
Lieutenant MacNab, Allan's father, was an incurable spendthrift and for the non-payment of his debts was frequently in gaol. The sheriff was always on his heels. In the "Upper Canada Gazette" of April 14, 1798, published at Niagara, we read the following notice: "Two Hundred dollars reward! Home District (4) of Upper Canada, Newark, April 14, 1798. Broke the gaol of this district on the night of the 1st instant [the 1st of April, let it be noted], Lieutenant Allan MacNab, a confined debtor. He is a reduced Lieutenant of Horse on the half-pay list of the late corps of Queen's Rangers, aged 38 years, or thereabouts, five feet three inches high, fair complexion, light hair, red beard: much marked with smallpox, round shouldered, stoops in walking, a native of the Highlands of Scotland." Such is the description of the person of Sir Allan Napier MacNab's father as given by the wag Alexander Macdonell (5) the then sheriff of the Home District.
(Excerpted from "The Conversion of Sir Allan MacNab, Baronet (1798-1862) by The Rev. Brother Alfred [Dooner], F.S.C., LL.D.)
Allan MacNab Sr. was a lieutenant in the 71st Regiment and the Queen's Rangers under Lt-Col. John Graves Simcoe.
Among those who fought in India were Captain James and Captain Robert Macnab who were of the House of Kinnell and were brothers to Allan MacNab who died at Almeida.
Although Jean Stewart was clearly the mother of Lt. Allan MacNab, it is unclear whether she was his natural mother, or his step-mother.
Died:
At Fuentes d' Onora (Almeida) on May 3rd, 1811, Lieutenant Allan MacNab, died of his wounds, and to his memory a small tablet was inserted in the wall of the enclosure at Inchbui bv his cousin, Archibald MacNab.
Allan married Anne Nancy Napier on 31 May 1792 in Holy Trinidad Cathedral, Quebec, Quebec, Canada. Anne (daughter of Capt. Peter William Napier, R.N.) was born in Aug 1772 in Quebec, Quebec, Canada. [Group Sheet]
