Editing Allan MacNab (section)

==Death==
MacNab died at his home, [[Dundurn Castle]], in Hamilton. His [[deathbed conversion]] to Catholicism caused a furore in the press in the following days. The ''[[The Globe and Mail|Toronto Globe]]'' and ''[[The Hamilton Spectator]]'' expressed strong doubts about the conversion, and the Anglican rector of Christ Church declared that MacNab died a [[Protestant]].<ref name=king/>

However, MacNab's Catholic baptism is recorded at St. Mary's Cathedral in Hamilton, at the hands of John Farrell, Bishop of Hamilton, on 7 August 1862.<ref name=conversion/>

When the 12th Chief of [[Clan Macnab]] died, he bequeathed all his heirlooms to MacNab, whom he considered the next Chief. When the latter's son was killed in a shooting accident in Canada, the position of Chief of Clan Macnab passed to the Macnabs of Arthurstone.
