[[John Bannerman (historian)|John Bannerman]] proposed that this Gartnait was to be identified with the son of [[Áedán mac Gabráin]] found in the genealogies known as ''Cethri Primchenela dail Riata'' attached to the ''[[Senchus fer n-Alban]]'', and furthermore with the Gartnait whose kin were active on the [[isle of Skye]] during the 7th and early 8th centuries.<ref>Bannerman, ''Studies'', p.92–94; Smyth, ''Warlords and Holy Men'', p. 70.</ref> [[T. F. O'Rahilly]] had earlier rejected the identification of "Gartnait son of Áedán" with the eponym of the Skye kindred who is called Gartnait son of Accidán in the Irish annals.<ref>Anderson, ''Kings and Kingship'', pp. 154–155; Smyth, ''Warlords and Holy Men'', pp. 79–80; Charles-Edwards, ''Chronicle of Ireland'', volume I, p. 146 (649:4).</ref> The most recent study, by [[James E. Fraser (historian)|Fraser]], rejects the existence of Gartnait son of Áedán outright, presuming this person to have been a genealogical fiction created in the early 8th century to bolster the ambitions of [[Cenél nGartnait]], descendants of Gartnait son of Accidán, to rule in [[Kintyre]].<ref>Fraser, ''Caledonia to Pictland'', pp. 204–205 & 250.</ref>
