The ancient earldom which bore this name consisted of the whole
of Dunbartonshire, as well as large parts of Renfrewshire, Stirlingshire
and Perthshire. ‘Leamhanach’ signified in Gaelic a ‘smooth
stream’ or perhaps ‘place of the elm trees’. From
the ancient Celtic Mormaers of Levenax sprang the Earls of Lennox
who were to become joined to the royal house of Stewart. The origins
of the earldom, which was well established by the twelfth century,
are disputed, but one theory asserts that a Saxon baron by the name
of Arkyll received lands in Dunbartonshire and Stirlingshire from
Malcolm III, and by his marriage to a Scottish heiress had a son,
Alwyn, first Earl of Lennox. However, it is claimed by other historians
that the earldom was conferred by William the Lion upon his brother,
David, Earl of Huntingdon, and that the family of Lennox was not
established until after William’s reign.
