About Hector Mor Maclean, 16th Chief, 12th of Duart
Hector Mor Maclean of Dowart, or Eachann Mór Maclean in Scottish Gaelic, known as Hector the Great, was the 16th Clan Chief of Clan MacLean from 1623 until his death in 1626. The term Mór or Mor translates to great when added to a name in Scottish Gaelic. He resided at Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull. Notably, he was the first Chief of MacLean in four hundred years to not produce an heir, breaking the direct male line from Gillean of the Battle Axe, the clan's founder. He was succeeded by his younger brother, Lachlan Maclean, 1st Baronet.
