Donald MacKinnon, Portree, Skye, Scotland, 1929, reprinted by The Clan MacLeod Society USA, Migration Project Publications Series, Number 1, 1984, pp. 17-18. He was born at Glenelg, on the 21st January 1751. He farmed Ratagan, and at the time of his death and for many years previously, had the farm of Claiggan, near Dunvegan, Skye. He married on 4th March 1785, Alice, daughter of Archibald MacDonell of Barisdale, and his wife, Flora, daughter of Norman MacLeod, IV of Drynoch. In the "History of the MacLeods," by MacKenzie (p. 218), and in "Clan Donald,": Vol. III, (p. 343), it is stated that the lady's name was Flora. To Donald and Alice was born a large family of 14 children, 6 sons and 8 daughters.... Donald MacLeod died at Claiggan, Dunvegan, Skye, on the 6th January, 1825, and was buried at Glenelg, on the 13th January 1825. His widow, Alice MacDonell, survived him for about 8 years. She died at Claiggan in August, 1833, and was also buried at Glenelg. The inscription on the tombstone in the Glenelg Churchyard, reads: --

ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF MARY MACLEOD, DAUGHTER OF DONALD AND ALICE MAC- LEOD OF ARNISDALE GLENELG BORN 12TH OCT. 1789, DIED 26TH JANY. 1875. ALSO TO THE MEMORY OF HER MOTHER ALICE M'DONELL, DAUGHTER OF A. M'DONELL, OF BARISDALE, DIED AT CLAIGANN, ISLE OF SKYE, 1833.
