Nigel Harkins says
Orm MacDuff of Abernethy 1155-1180 died 15 years before the birth of his son Laurence de Abernethy 1195-1245 according to your records. Was this the longest pregnancy in history or is something wrong with the records?

I can't find ready primary evidence for Orm' existence so far. Wikipedia is referencing John Bannerman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gille_M%C3%ADch%C3%A9il,_Earl_of_Fife, but Medlands doesn't think Hugh even had a son called Orm: http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SCOTTISH%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc359671981.
