Duncan Abbot of Dunkeld was born, date unknown, of unknown parents and uncertain date and location. His wife was also unknown. He died in 965 in battle on the ridge of Crup. [1][2]
Supposed son, Crínán (or Crónán), Abbot of Dunkeld (Dún Caillen) was detached. [father/son relationship](chronologically doubtful), While the relationship is not impossible, the chronology is very long (if true, Crinán would be eighty at his death in battle even if born in the year of his father's death), and there is no known evidence to support it. The alleged relationship cannot be accepted without further evidence." The mother is also unknown. [3]
