MacGILLONIE, MacGUILLONIE, MacGILLERY, MacONIE, STRONACH
MacGillonie and its variations are the "appellation" of the Camerons of Strone, one of the four original "principal" branches of Clan Cameron (and therefore not technically a "sept," but included here for clarification.) They are said to be one of the most ancient "tribes" of Lochaber. The surname is thought to be from the Gaelic "Mac Gille 'an fhaidh"/"Mael an' fhaidh," meaning "son of the servant of the prophet."
There is some indication that the surname "Stronach" is also a MacGillonie variation. The name may have been taken from that of the area, "Strone" with the "ach" added, meaning "Son of Strone."
Strone lies near Erracht, at the entrance to Glen Loy, where the small burial ground of the Camerons/MacGillonies of Strone is located. Tradition holds that Charles MacGillonie of Strone led the Cameron "tribe" at the Battle of Invernahavon in 1370, the first of many battles to come against Clan Macintosh.
