I don't know where the profile creator got the info showing for his birth and death though, as what is on this page doesn't match what any of the other sites have.
Geni shows that info as:
Birth: estimated between 1145 and 1145 Death: 1171
The Peerage states: He died before December 1170
WIkipedia states: He died in 1171
Notice there are no places given for either his birth or death.
Also, he was the second-known earl or mormaer of Strathearn.
His Geni profile has a lot more details and lists additional links:

The wikipedia entry is good but not a source, the others are far too unreliable as I find them full of errors. Suggest Scottish History Society "Charters of Inchaffray Abbey" and especially Cynthia J. Neville' s 1983 thesis at Aberdeen University "The Earls of Strathearn from mid-12th to mid-14th centuries" Vol.1 Chapter Two as the best and both available on-line. Unfortunately at present I am occupied elsewhere or would tackle this.
