CLAN GATHERING

A clan gathering will be arranged for the installation of the plaque, and the interment of the ashes of Donald Collin MacDonald, a native Gaelic speaker from Lochaber - c1901 - 1977, father of the present Chief Ranald Alasdair MacDonald. His ashes will be interred in the family lair in Cille Choirill. Our ancestors are lying at peace within that sacred burial place, where they have been interred from time immemorial. The last members of the Chief's direct family to be buried there, were his great grandfather Alasdair Raonuill and his wife Margaret Cameron of Liandalaidh Lochaber, a major cadet of the Lochiel blood line. The Cameron Highlanders were raised on the joining of Clan Ranald of Lochaber and Clan Cameron, and their kilt is a mixture of both tartans.

Sir Crispin Agnew of Lochnaw BT, Q.C. who gave loyal and sterling support over many long years to your Chief, and who brought the matter to a successful conclusion in the Court of Session and Court of the Lord Lyon in January 2004, will present your Chief with his Ensigns Armorial in Lochaber and the date and time will be announced on this site.
