!SOURCE: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon, THE MACLEODS: THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section III, "Cadet Families", Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society, 1970, p. 89. Angus, who was born about 1694, was a keen and devoted Jacobite, and, in the 1745 Rising, was present at Glenfinnan on the day of which the Highland Clans gathered to welcome Prince Charles Edward Stuart, and brought with him as many men as he was able to influence in favour of the Prince. He and his 6 sons, with the exception of Olaus, the youngest, were at Culloden. After the battle, when the clans, disorganised and confused, were scattered, Angus returned to the field to search for his sons, whom he found among the slain. As he was leaving, he was attacked by a party of English dragoons, and in the struggle that ensued he was killed, but not before he had cut down several of his assailants. Of his family, only two are known. Angus MacLeod, 2nd of the MacLeods of Swordlan, was killed, as already noted, on the battlefield of Culloden, and was succeeded at Swordlan by his surviving son.
