Notes - Orm MacHugh, also known as Egius Mac Duff, Hugh MacHugh, HUGH macDuff II, Giles and Eugenius. Very confusing but they are all names for the same person. He was the only known son of Hugh MacGillemichael (also known as Aed).
His paternity is confirmed by a charter of King William of Scotland (William the Lion) dated about 1165 which identifies him as "Egii filii Hugonis filii Gillemihel comitis de Fif" which translates as "Egii, son of Hugh, son of Gillemiel, count of Fife".
Orm is believed to have inherited the hereditary Abbacy of Abernethy from his father, however, Orm is the first Abbot of Abernethy to actually be attested. Orm was confirmed in possession of it by King William of Scotland in the 1170s.
Orm is also identified by Sir Robert Douglas in his 'Peerage of Scotland' as the father of John of Methil, the ancestor of the family of Wemyss and of the Earls of Wemyss.
