Research Notes:
said to have been daughter of Swan, son of Thor, Lord of Tippermuir and Tranent, but this seems to be founded on a mistaken reading by Duncan Stewart of a charter in the Register of Scone [Ref: SP I p12]

her name was certainly Eva, but her parentage is unknown [Ref: SP I p12 (with corr in IX p1)]

The following is the charter from Scone in question and it certainly states that Walter fitz Alan is the grandson of Swain son of Thor:
Liber Ecclesie de Scon, Munimenta Vetustiora Monasterii Sancte Trinitatis et Sancti Michaelis De Scon, edited by Cosmo Innes, Bannatyne Club, Edinburgi, MDCCCXLIII:
Pages 47-48:
Confirmatio Alexandri regis concessionis Waltreri filii Alani de terra quam Swanus filius Thori fecit. Alexander Dei gratia Rex Scottorum omnibus probis hominibus totius terre sue clericis et laicis salutem. Sciant presentes et futuri me concessisse et hac carta mea confirmasse concessionem illam quam Waltreus filius Alani fecit Deo et ecclesie Sancte Trinitas et Sancti Michaelis de Scon et canonicis ibidem Deo servientibus et servituris de tota terra illa quam Suanus filius Thori avus eiusdem Walteri eisdem canonicis dedit in Tibermur per divisas contentas in confirmatione eiusdem Walteri et de quodam tofto quod fuit aurifabri cum aliis toftis proximis adiacentibus eidem tofto per divisas contentas in eadem confirmatione et de quadam terrula supra fontem qui vocatur fons regis per divisas contentas in eadem confirmacione et de quadam piscaria de Carnes. Tenendum in puram et perpetuam elemosinam cum communione pasture et aisiamento nemoris eiusdem Walteri et ceteris communibus aisiamentis de Tubermur ita libere et quiete plenarie et pacifice sicut confirmatio eiusdem Walteri eisdem canonicis inde facta testatur [salvo]
servicio meo. Testibus Willelmo de Boscho cancellario, Willelmo Cumin. [Ref: John Ravilious SGM 10/28/2006-035059]

If the accounts given in Scots Peerage are correct, the problem concerning identifying the wife (wives) of Alan fitz Walter emanates from the names given in the charters. As Tim noted, in SP I:12 Eva, daughter of Swan, is noted as having been married to an 'Alan fitz Walter': the error is not in the name, but the identification of Alan. The footnote reads:
'(1) Liber de Scon, No. 125. The person referred to being Alan, son of Walter Ruthven. Cf. the charter cited, and the Chartulary of Lindores, Scot. Hist. Soc. Ed. 30, 244.' [1]

The account in SP concerning the family of Ruthven (Earls of Gowrie) essentially dovetails with this version, with the apparent error that Alan, father of Walter fitz Alan de Ruthven, is identified as 'Alan, son of Swan' [2]. Other sources indicate that besides Tranent and Tippermuir, the lands of Ruthven were held by Swan son of Thor [3]: if this is correct, it would appear the Ruthven identification is correct, and that the problem is one of "the name's the same" {i.e. Walter fitz Alan -> de Ruthven, not the Stewart).
If this is in fact the case, it does appear from the other charters you cited that Walter fitz Alan, the Steward, had a wife named Eva. I do wonder about her identification; the query concerning the passage of lands from the alleged wife Alesta (daughter of Morgund of Mar) to the Stewart family still remains.
