Ranald Mor 7 MACDONELL, of Keppoch (son of Donald Glas 6 MACDONELL, of Keppoch and Daughter CAMERON, of Lochiel); died in 1547.

Notes:

Ranald Mor Macdonald, 7th of Keppoch. Killed 1547. Known as Raonaill Mor it is from him that the Keppoch chiefs' patronymic is derived: Mac Mhic Raonaill (the son of Ranald's son). Later chiefs were often styled MacRanald and the clan soon became known as the Clanranald of Lochaber. When Iain Muideartach [John Macdonald of Moidart, 8th Captain Clanranald Ref No 517] raised the Clan Ranald of Garmoran in rebellion against his kinsman Ranald Gallda Macdonald of Clanranald [Ref No 987] in the struggle for the chiefship of Clan Ranald, Ranald Mor of Keppoch lost no time in joining in. Along with Ewen Allansone of Lochiel he gave his utmost support to Iain Moideartach all through the campaign which followed and played a leading part in the Battle of the Shirts (Blar na Leine): Fought on a hot July day in 1544, the combatants discarded their outer garments and fought in their shirts. The macdonalds almost annihilated the Clan Fraser, leaving 300 dead on the field including Lord Lovat, his eldest son the Master of Lovat and their kinsman Ranald Gallda. Enraged at the death of Lovat, the Earl of Huntly invaded Lochaber and pillaged the lands of Keppoch and Lochiel but failed to capture Ranald or Lochiel. In 1547 William MacIntosh of Macntosh, Captain of Clan Chattan had Keppoch, Lochiel and a number of their followers apprehended and he handed them over to Huntly who imprisoned them in Ruthven Castle in Badenoch. They were taken to Elgin, tried and found guilty of high Treason by a jury of lowland gentry. The 2 chiefs were beheaded and their followers hanged. The heads were set over the gates of the town.
