Is there any serious attempt to link Crinan the Thane, Lay Abbot of Dunkeld,
father of Duncan I, to the main O'Neill line?

Burke's Peerage (105th ed.), p. 2025, says that Abbots of Dunkeld and
kings of Scots from Duncan I were male line descendants from
the 5th son of Niall - Conall Gulban.

I have:

James Hogan, The Irish Law of Kingship, Proc. of the Royal Irish Academy 40
(1932), pp. 186-254 + pedigree tables

but the pedigrees are selective and concentrate on ruling Irish lines.

Best regards,

Rafal
