From A Passion for Scotland by David R. Ross, 2002.
"Kenneth MacAlpin, who is credited with being the first king of our modern ideal of Scotland, is also buried on Iona. He died at Forteviot, a few miles south-west of Perth. An old gazetteer mentions:
On a small eminence now called the Halyhill, at the west end of the village, overhanging
May water, stood Fortevieth, the ancient capital of Fortrenn. According to legend, Angus
MacFergus, King of the Picts (731-61) here built a church, and in his palace here Kenneth
MacAlpin died in 860.
Other sources claim MacAlpin's death as having taken place in 858."
The British Chronicles by David Hughes, 2007, reports that Kenneth's mother was a Pict "throne-princess" and that he was killed in battle with the Vikings in 859/60.
