Tour Scotland travel video of the Reverend Alexander MacEwen Memorial gravestone on ancestry visit to Glasgow Necropolis. The Scottish surname MacEwen derives from the Old Gaelic Mac Eoghainn, meaning ' the son of Eoghann '. The name is found today in both Scotland and Northern Ireland. The first MacEwen armiger was granted arms in 1743, and his achievement reflects his family's origins in Clan MacDougall. However a second grant of arms in the name made in 1793 to William MacEwan of Glenboig, displays Cameron symbolism in both its crest and its central charge.
