The origin myth of the kingdom of Alba traced its foundation to the supposed destruction of Pictland by Kenneth MacAlpin, and its kings were chosen from the male line descendants of Kenneth, with the possible exception of the shadowy Eochaid, said to be Kenneth's daughter's son.

During the century in which the lists correspond well with the annals, the succession to the kingship of Alba was held in an alternating fashion by two branches of the descendants of Kenneth MacAlpin, one descended from Kenneth's son Constantín, Clann Constantín mac Cináeda, and one from Constantín's brother Áed, Clann Áeda mac Cináeda.

Kenneth's granddaughter, Gruoch daughter of Boite ( Gruoch ingen Boite meic Cináeda ) — William Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth — was wife firstly of Gille Coemgáin, Mormaer of Moray, and secondly of King Macbeth ; her son by Gille Coemgáin, Lulach ( Lulach mac Gille Coemgáin ), would briefly succeed Macbeth as King of Scotland.

John of Fordun ( IV, ii ) calls Kenneth's father " Alpin son of Achay " ( Alpín son of Eochu ) and has him killed in war with the Picts in 836 ; Andrew of Wyntoun's version mixes Fordun's war with the Picts with the Chronicle version which has him killed in Galloway.

The same style is used of Kenneth's brother Donald I ( Domnall mac Ailpín ) and sons Constantine I ( Constantín mac Cináeda ) and Áed ( Áed mac Cináeda ).

The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba usually begins with Kenneth, but some variants include a reference to Kenneth's father: " was killed in Galloway, after he had entirely destroyed and devastated it.

One hypothesis is that the figures depicted in the battle, parade and decapitation scenes is the army of Kenneth MacAlpin ( Cináed mac Ailpín ), the scene being the representation of Kenneth's demonstration of his military and legal authority over northern Pictland.

Kenneth's undisputed legacy was to produce a dynasty of rulers who claimed descent from him and was the founder of the dynasty which ruled Scotland for much of the medieval period.
