Sad Greetings All,

Clan MacAlister Society, Ltd. and MacAlister Clansmen worldwide mourn the passing of a great Scot and benefactor, Laird Glenbarr, Angus MacAlister of Glenbarr, Western Kintyre, Argyll, Scotland.

Angus quietly succumbed to his long fight with cancer on April 4th at 10:00 pm. He was at home in his beloved Glenbarr Abbey with Lady Jeanne Macalister at his side. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Laird Glenbarr, in an effort to save Glenbarr Abbey, and to ensure that his family heritage was not lost to history like so many other Scottish Noble Houses, gave Glenbarr Abbey, the ancestral home, to Clan MacAlister as the MacAlister Clan Center.  Glenbarr Abbey was placed into the ownership of Clan MacAlister through the Scottish national Trust in 1984.  Its operation will be overseen by the Board of Trustees which is made up of MacAlister Clansmen from Scotland, America, and Australia.

While Lady Jeanne Macalister will continue opening Glenbarr Abbey to the public, the responsibilities for maintaining Glenbarr Abbey will now, in part, fall on MacAlisters worldwide.

MacAlister Clansmen everywhere mourn the loss of a great man and loyal Scot.  Our sincere condolences are sent to Lady Jeanne, and his family and friends.  Angus will be in our thoughts and prayers and we will take solace in the fond and cherished memories.
