Notes

!MENTION: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon and Alick Morrison, THE MACLEODS -- THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section III, "MacLeod Cadet Families", Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society, 1970, pp. 21, 23. After the accession of Sir Roderick Mor MacLeod to the Chiefship in 1595, returned to the MacLeod 'country', and resided at Fasach in Waternish. He was known as Domhnall an Fhasaich (Donald of Fasach), and became the progenitor of Fasach, of whom afterwards. [See post, The MacLeods of Fasach]. The MacLeods of Fasach in Waternish were descended from Norman MacLeod, 4th of the MacLeod family of Waternish, and his wife, Catherine, daughter of James MacDonald of Castle Camus in Sleat. [THE BANNATYNE MANUSCRIPT] Norman's second son, Donald, was the progenitor of the family, styled 'of Fasach'. Donald was born and reared in the Kingsburgh district of Troternish, which was MacDonald Country. When Sir Roderick Mor MacLeod succeeded to the chiefship of the Clan, he invited Donald back to the lands held by his ancestors and settled him at Fasach. There is reason to believe that Sir Roderick appointed him his armourer and smith, and for three generations the heads of this family acted in this capacity on the MacLeod estates. In the traditions of the Clan Donald [BANNATYNE MANUSCRIPT] has come down as Domhnall an Fhasaich (Donald of Fasach). He married a lady of whome nothing is known, and by her had issue.
