Níall of Carrick was the second man to bear the title Mormaer, or Earl, of Carrick. He was successor of mormaer Donnchadh of Carrick. He may have been Donnchadh's son, or else as suggested by one recent genealogical theory, his grandson. It has been argued that Niall's father was Nichol (Cailean or Colin), son of mormaer Donnchadh by the daughter of Niall Ruadh, briefly king of Tír Eóghain.

  • Níall of Carrick was the second man to bear the title Mormaer, or Earl, of Carrick. He was successor of mormaer Donnchadh of Carrick. He may have been Donnchadh's son, or else as suggested by one recent genealogical theory, his grandson. It has been argued that Niall's father was Nichol (Cailean or Colin), son of mormaer Donnchadh by the daughter of Niall Ruadh, briefly king of Tír Eóghain. Níall made a grant which assured that his nephew, Lachlan and successors would have all the powers in respect to the ceann ceneóil (head of kin). This grant was confirmed by King Alexander III. It ensured that the structure of Carrick's Gaelic society would remain pretty undisturbed in the event that no direct male heir was available to succeed him as earl. As things transpired, this is indeed what happened. Níall left no sons, and was succeeded by his daughter Marjory. The latter passed the mormaerdom on to her son Roibert a Briuis, the great man who became King Robert I of Scotland.
  • Niall mac Dhonnchaidh (auch Níall mac Donnchadha, Niall von Carrick oder Neil von Carrick) war der zweite Mormaer oder „Gälischer Graf“ von Carrick. Neil war der Sohn und Nachfolger von Donnchadh (Duncan, 1. Earl of Carrick). Er folgte diesem 1250 als 2. Earl of Carrick. Neil war seit 1255 Regent von Schottland und Vormund für König Alexander III. Er heiratete 1234 Margaret, Tochter des Walter Stewart, 3. High Steward of Scotland, mit der er nur eine Tochter hatte: Marjorie (Marthoc) Diese folgte ihm in Carrick und wurde Mutter des Königs Robert Bruce. Als Führer seines Clans (ceann ceneóil) bestimmte er aber seinem Neffen (Lachlan).
