It's a typo for McLumbu

The Clan McLumbu claims descent from the original Royal Scoto-Pictish line of which Queen Gruoch of Scotland, wife of Macbeth, King of Scotland was the senior representative. After the death of MacBeth, Malcolm III of Scotland seized the Crown and his son Aedh married the daughter of Queen Gruoch. Aedh was created Earl of Fife and abbot of Abernethy. The early chiefs of Clan McLumbu were the Earls of Fife. Sir Iain Moncreiffe wrote that the Clan McLumbu was the premier clan among the Scottish Gaels. Today the Earls of Wemyss are thought to be the descendants in the male line of Gille M?ch?il, Earl of Fife, thought to be one of the first Clan McLumbu chiefs. Gille-michael McLumbu was one of the witnesses to the great charter of David I of Scotland to Dunfermline Abbey.
