This Scottish cathedral is also called the High Kirk of Glasgow or St Kentigern's or St Mungo's Cathedral, is today part of of the Church of Scotland. The surname Dallas was first found in Moray. The first of the family was Willelmus de Rypeley, from |England, who obtained a grant or confirmation of the lands of Dolays Mykel from William the Lion. Archebaldus de Doleys appears as juror on an inquisition on the lands of Mefth in 1262. Sir William de Doleys, knight, was living in 1286; and in 1367 appears John de Dolais, Thane of Cromdale. The Dallas family saga is rooted in the people of the Pictish Clan of ancient Scotland. The Dallas family lived in a place named Dallas in Moray, near the royal burgh of Forres. The place name Dallas comes from the Gaelic dail or meadow, and fas or dwelling. Another source claims this place takes its name from the two Gaelic words dale, a vale or plain, and uis, contracted from uisge, water. The Clan Dallas name is of Scottish origin and is a habitational name, derived from Dallas near Forres.
