Níall of Carrick (also Neil) 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 Tir Eoghain.[1]

On 12 September 1255 Níall, having no male heirs, granted the chiefship of the clan 
to his nephew Roland and his heirs, giving them all the powers in respect to the ceann 
ceneóil (head of kin). This grant was confirmed by King Alexander III at Stirling in 
1276.[2]

Niall was succeeded by his daughter Marjory, who took the title 3rd Countess of 
Carrick.[3] The latter passed the mormaerdom on to her son Robert the Bruce, who 
became King Robert I of Scotland.[4]
