!BIOGRAPHY: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon and Alick Morrison, THE MACLEODS--THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section II, Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society, 1968, pp. 35, 36. Born in the island of Berneray [JACOBITE PEERAGE], Harris, married in 1720, Ranald MacDonald, 17th of Clanranald. She was a sincere Jacobite much loved in Berneray and South Uist, and is famous in Scottish history as Lady Clanranald of the '45. She was the close friend of Flora MacDonald, the Highland heroine and did all in her power to help Prince Charles Edward Stuart, while he was in South Uist. She not only provided him with food but also with clothes, wherein acted the part of "Betty Burke" and so enabled him to slip through the closing net of his pursuers. She was blamed for bringing her husband into "the scrape" and after suffering imprisonment in Tilbury, London, she was allowed to return home. Ranald MacDonald 17th and Margaret MacLeod had issue. Margaret, Lady Clanranald died on the 20th September 1780 at Ormiclate and was buried at Nunton, South Uist.
