GILMAGU: Irish Giolla Mo-Chuda, 'servant of (S.) Mochuda' (= my Cuda), another name for S. Carthage of Lismore. The saint is commemorated in Scotland in the place names Kirkmahoe Dumfriesshire, Kilmahoe in Kintyre, and Kilmahew at Cardross, Dumbartonshire. Part of the lands of ffincurrokis were granted to Gilmagu and his heir c. 1160—80 (Kelso, 114). In another charter he is mentioned as Cilmagu mac Aldie (ibid., 110), and he is most probably the Gilmalgon (evidently a miscopying of Gilmahagou) mac Kelli, who witnessed Abbot Arnald's gift of the lands of Duueglas (Douglas) to Theobald the Fleming, c. 1150 (ibid., 107). See also MaCilhagga.
