2. Walter Macfarlane, 9th Baron of Arrochar 6th Clan Chief was born about 1430 (son of Duncan Macfarlane, 8th Baron of Arrochar 5th Clan Chief and Unknown); died in 1488 in Scotland. Notes:
6th Chief (1447-1488): Walter, son of Duncan, was named chief of Arrochar in a charter under the Great Seal from King James III in 1486. He married the only daughter of James, second Lord Livingston and had two sons: Andrew, his heir, and Dugal, progenitor of the Macfarlanes of Tullichintall, Finart, and Gorton. Walter, as well as many clansmen, perished at the Battle of Sauchieburn (1488) fighting for King James III, who also fell there. He was involved in the extremely complicated negotiations that resulted in at least three claimants, including Walter as heir-male, to the vacant Earldom of Lennox following the beheading of the 8th Earl in 1425. However Stewart of Darnley (grandson of a younger daughter of the executed Earl) finally overcame all opposition and succeeded to the Earldom of Lennox in 1488.
