The O'Beolairts (O Beollain) or Gillanders (Giolla Aindreas) of the Cineal Eoghain were co-arbs (hereditary abbots) of St. Maelrubha at Applecross in Ross-shire. They were a powerful princely family, and became earls of Ross in the early thirteenth century.
Towards the end of the fourteenth century they inherited the chiefship of the Clann Aindreas, or Clann GiollaAindreas (Clan Gillanders), a native Pictish tribe related to the MacKenzies and Mathesons and among whom they had long been ecclesiastical and secular leaders.
At about the same time they were artificially dispossessed of the Earldom of Ross by the King of Scots, and afterwards the family adopted as a surname what had for some time been the descriptive epithet of (de) Ross.
They are also known by the patronymic of MacAndrew (Mac Gille Aindreas) from the clan name, while the original family name ofO Beollain survives as MacBeolain, following Scottish prefix usage. A branch of the O'Beolains became hereditary abbots (erenaghs) of the Columban church at Drumcliffe in Sligo, and were famous for their hospitality. Some of the MacAndrews settled in the Clan Chattan country, and sought the protection of the MacKintosh about 1400. The MacBeolains occupied Glenshiel and the south side of Loch Duich as far as Kylerhea. Fearcher MacTaggart (Mac an tSagairt-"the son of the priest") of Applecross was created Earl of Ross in 1234.
