Crinan was married to Princess Bethoc, eldest daughter of King Malcolm II of Scotland. As Malcolm II had no son, the strongest hereditary claim to the Scottish throne descended through Bethoc, and Crinan's eldest son Duncan I ( 1001 to 1040), became King of Scots in 1034. Some sources indicate that Malcolm II designated Duncan as his successor under the rules of tanistry because there were other possible claimants to the throne.
Crinan's second son, Maldred of Allerdale (b. 1005), held the title of Earl Lord Carlisle.

In civil engineering terminology t huts, the monastery was rebuilt in the ninth century by Kenneth MacAlpine in reddish sandstone masonry. Kenneth gave Dunkeld the Primacy of Columban faith in Alba.
While the title of Hereditary Lay Abbot was a feudal position that was often exercised in name only, Crinan does seem to have acted as Abbot in charge of the monastery in his time. He was thus a man of high position in both clerical and secular society.
