Line 41: ==History== From 1229 to 1313 [[Clan Comyn]] held the lordship of Badenoch. In 1371 King [[Robert II of Scotland\|Robert II]] granted it to his son [[~~Alexander Stewart, 1st Earl of Buchan\|~~Alexander Stewart, 1st Earl of Buchan]] (1343–1405), the "Wolf of Badenoch" or "''{{lang\|gd\|Alasdair Mòr Mac an Rìgh}}''" ('Great Alexander, son of the king'). Reverting to the crown, the territory came in 1452 to [[Alexander Gordon, 1st Earl of Huntly]], and still gives the title of "Lord of Badenoch" to the [[marquess of Huntly]]. The traditional district was eventually combined into the [[Counties of Scotland\|traditional county]] of [[Inverness-shire]] along with the traditional district of Inverness, parts of Lochaber and some island districts during reorganisation due to the [[Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889]]. This Act established a uniform system of [[county council]]s and town councils in Scotland and restructured many of Scotland's counties. (See: [[History of local government in the United Kingdom]].)
