Career
Mór or Mor translates as great when added to a name in Scottish Gaelic. He was the 8th laird of Duart Castle. To most of his vassals he granted extended leases, by way of encouragement in the improvement of lands and the building of more comfortable dwellings.
He lived altogether, while permitted to do so by his troublesome neighbors with which he was surrounded, more like a noble of modern times than a feudal baron.
His alliance was courted by many of the powerful lords. And the king thought it of importance to secure his loyalty by calling him into his council.
Hence, we find him taking his seat in parliament as one of the lords of the kingdom. In private life his character was above reproach, and in his warlike pursuits he acted upon that system which had legal sanction.
