7th chieftain of the Children of the Mist. Aide-de-camp to Prince Charles Edward (Bonnie Prince Charlie) in the '45, the Prince presenting him with a dirk still worn by the present Chief. b 1714/15, d 1778. m Janet daur of John Macdonald of Balconie. 4 sons all colonels in the army, but only the first two left male descendants. Another son was born at Crianlarich but d before he was baptised. He was to have been called Donald. Otherwise described as
simple Evan Murray vintner at the head of Lochearn, aged 34 in 1752 when he was examined as a witness in the trial of James Stewart for the murder of Campbell of Glenure. Mr C. K. Sharpe informs us that old Mrs Campbell of Monzie, a relative of his own, well remembered the old publican, in whose wretched hostelry a small alehouse at Lochearnhead she had often been. She never heard anything of the great McGregor descent which was probably an afterthought upon the son's acquiring wealth in the East Indies. (GD50/184/113). After the '45 he served with government forces in the 88th and 41st regiments. He died while on duty with the latter in Jersey. (CGS Newsletter No 39 p11).

Alasdair Boloyne Macdonald of Keppoch, 8th of Keppoch. dsp 1554. Succeeded to Keppoch in 1547. His succession to the chiefship was marked by a herschip (a plundering raid) by which the new chief hoped to prove himself worthy of his position. Accompanied by Alasdair MacGorrie and Iain MacInnes with their followers; he invaded the lands of Glen Urquhart, Glen Shee and Strathardle and carried off all the plunder they could lay hands on. For this they were granted a respite under the Privy Seal to last for 21 years. Alasdair was soon a variance with the neighbouring Camerons and their differences came to a head in February 1554 when the Camerons, led by their chief Ewen Beag of Lochiel, invaded the Braes of Lochaber. They were met by Keppoch, ably supported by Iain Dubh (Black John) Macdonald of Bohuntin and the Clan Ranald of Lochaber. Both sides fought with great bravery and after a great struggle the Macdonalds were victorious. Among those slain was Ewen Beag, 14th of Lochiel [Chronicle of Fortingall]. Alasdair was severely wounded in the foot by an arrow and was unable to lad the pursuit of the vanquished. This fell to Iain Dubh who drove the Camerons across the River Lochy into their own country, which he then ravaged with fire and sword. This battle was fought at Boloinne (Both-Flionne) behind Mulroy, the hill above Keppoch and earned Alasdair his name. Afterwards, the arrow wound began to fester and Alasdair sought treatment from a famous herbalist at Kingussie but died there. Some say the wound was poisoned. Alasdair died unmarried and was succeeeded by his broher Ranald Og.

Alasdair Buidhe Macdonald, 14th of Keppoch. Alasdair Buidhe (yellow haired), who was the Tutor of Keppoch, became the unopposed chief after the murder of the young chiefs. In the Royal Commission, granted July 1665, to proceed against the murderers two of his sons were named. A band of 50 warriors arrived in the Braes of Lochaber in September of 1665, two years after the murders. They surprised Sliochd Dhughaill (Macdonalds of Inverlair) at Inverlair and after a bloody fight Alasdair Ruadh MacDughaill and six of his relatives were killed. lain Lom cut off the heads and ordered the seven headless bodies to be buried on a knoll opposite the house of Inverlair. (The skeletons of the bodies were unearthed in this century and no skulls were found.) The two sons of Alasdair Buidhe avoided capture. The elder, Ailein Dearg, had fled, some say to Lewis, others say to Badenoch. There is one story that has him killed at Tulloch. The younger son, Donald Gorm's, name appears among those against whom legal proceedings were begun in 1671 for the 1663 murders. Keppoch was summoned, among others, before the Privy Council on 15 January, 1669 for using violence against a company of soldiers sent to assist in collecting the taxes. He is said to have drowned in the River Spean the same year. He was succeeded by his second son Archibald, also called Gilleasbuig.

Alasdair Nan Cleas Macdonald, 10th of Keppoch. Alasdair of the Tricks. (1587-1635). Alasdair was one of the most accomplished men of his time. He learned the art of conjuring which many Highland folk took to be the black art. This is what earned him the name Alasdair of the Tricks. Alasdair had a long history of conflict with MacIntosh. He allied himself in 1587 with Lochiel and Huntly during a feud between the Earls of Huntly and Moray. MacIntosh allied themselves with Moray. In 1588, A Royal Commission to proceed against Keppoch, his brother Ranald of Inch and others of his Clan was procured by MacIntosh jointly with Huntly and Freuchie. While MacIntosh and Freuchie were set on invading Lochaber, Huntly had no wish to see one of his supporters worsted and prevented them from carrying out their raid against Keppoch. In 1589 Keppoch gave a bond of manrent to MacIntosh. For a time all was peaceful. The death of Moray, at the hands of Huntly, in 1592 resulted in the invasion of Huntly by the vassal of Moray. Keppoch and Lochiel retaliated by plundering the land of MacIntosh and Freuchie. In 1593, Keppoch, on the orders of Huntly, invaded Clan Chattan lands in the neighborhood of Inverness and took the Castle of the town holding it in the name of Huntly. Keppoch's brother, Ranald of Inch, his son John (lain Dubh), and 3 of his officers, Goraidh Dubh and his son were captured by MacIntosh who hanged all but Ranald of lnch who escaped. MacIntosh then raided the Braes of Lochaber. In 1594, the Earls of Errol and Angus tried to re-establish the Roman Catholic religion in Scotland, Keppoch led his Clansmen to join them and fought at the Battle of Glenlivet along with Huntly, Errol and other Catholic earls against Argyll. He was supported by his uncle Black John of Bohuntin. In 1595, Keppoch among others entered into a bond with Argyll. He delivered up his youngest son, Angus Og, as hostage for his good behavior. Argyll promised to protect Keppoch against his enemies in all the lands which he laid claim. When Huntly returned from exile in 1598 Keppoch returned his allegiance to him. In 1602 he was ordered to raise 100 men for the Royal Service in Ireland but did not as he was already engaged in raiding the lands of MacIntosh. Letters were raised by John Campbell, Commissary of Inverness, against Ranald of Inch and Donald of Fersit, brothers of Keppoch, lain Dubh of Bohuntin, uncle of Keppoch, and his sons Angus of Tulloch and Allan of Gellovie for "herschip and fire raising" at Moy. Although Alaisdair nan Cleas apparently did not take part in the invasion of Moy, he was held responsible for his followers' actions and was denounced as a rebel. In 1608, Keppoch was pardoned by the Privy Council for a series of "crimes". On a stormy night in 1612 a fugitive Highlander appeared at the door of the house of Tirnadris. He and his companions were of Clan Gregor and were fleeing Argyll's men. Tirnadris turned them away and informed Keppoch as to their presence. Keppoch, under oath to the Government, surprised the Gregors near Tirnadris and killed them all. The spot is still known as Eas Clann Gregor and the burial is marked by small enclosure planted with Scots Pine in a knoll in front of Tirnadris House. Keppoch sent their heads to Edinburgh and received | MACDONELL, Alasdair Nan Cleas 10 of Keppoch (I9)

Alexander Macdonald, 13th of Keppoch. Murdered 1663 sp. Alexander was a young boy when his father died. He and his brother Ranald are said to have been fostered at Duntuim Castle, and later sent to Rome to complete their education. During this time the clan was administered by Alasdair Buidhe as Tutor of Keppoch. When they returned to Scotland they took up residence at Keppoch Castle and Alasdair Buidhe returned to his home at Bohuntin. Alexander first appears as Chief of the Clan on 2 August 1661 when he was charged by the Privy Council for failing to appear. There was unrest and trouble between Keppoch and the Macdonalds of Inverlair. Some disaffected members of the clan decided that the Chief had to be removed. On the morning of 25 September 1663, assassins entered Keppoch Castle and murdered Alexander and Ranald. The assassins were Allan Dearg, Donald Gorm, Alasdair Ruadh of Inverlair and six of his relations. After the murders the castle was pulled down by the clan and not a stone is now to be seen. The sister of the murdered Chief composed a lament "Cumha na Peathair" (The Sister's Lament) and died shortly after it is said of grief. He was succeeded by Alasdair Buidhe without opposition. Though no action was taken to avenge the deaths Iain Lom was not content to let it lay. He went to Lord MacDonald and Aros, Chief of Glengarry as the High Chief of the day. Glengarry would not take part in any reprisal for Keppoch. Iain Lom then turned to Sleat who came to his aid. Sir James got permission from the Privy Council to move against the murderers. Two years after the murder the band arrived at Inverlair where they took full revenge. Only Donald Gorm and Allan Dearg escaped. Iain Lom cut off the heads of the seven murderers and took them to Glengarry. He stopped on the way to wash them at the place now called "Well of the Heads." He is said to have cast them at Glengarry's feet and said "This was your responsibility!" Glengarry admitted he should have handled it. Perhaps the fact that one of Glengarry's daughters was married to one of the murderers influenced his decision to not take any part in the affair.

ALEXANDER, LORD OF LOCHABER, 1st CHIEF of KEPPOCH
Alasdair Carrach (ca 1390 - ca 1443)
DEAN Munro in his M.S. History of the MacDonalds has described Alasdair Carrach as "the fairest haired man as they say of aney that ever was". The word "carrach" however, has a less complimentary meaning. Alasdair probably had a number of warts among his facial characteristics. He received as his share of his father's patrimony, the Lordship of Lochaber, which included the lands of Lochy, Glen S pean and Glen Roy. His seat appears to have been firstly at Tom a' Charraich, near Torlundy, (MacDonald Bards) and later at Tor Castle, near Banavie (Celtic Monthly).
On 5th September, 1394, Alasdair Carrach, as Lord of Lochaber, entered into an agreement with the Earl of Moray by which he undertook to protect all the possessions of the Regality of Moray and all the church lands in the province for the space of seven years. The Earl had, by a previous agreement, bound himself to protect these very same lands, but the marriage between the Wolf of Badenoch and the Countess of Ross in 1383, and the subsequent acquisition by the Wolf of the Earldom of Ross, had caused him to seek the protection of the Lord of Lochaber. By the terms of the agreement Alexander further undertook to protect the Earl and his property against all comers with the exception of the King, the Earl of Fife and the Lord of the Isles. In return, he was to receive from the Earl, 80 merks per annum and his support against all save the King, the Earl of Fife, the Earl of Mar and Alexander Lesley, heir to the Earldom of Ross. The death of the Wolf of Badenoch in the same year influenced events and made it impossible for the terms of the treaty to be carried out.
Donald, 2nd Lord of the Isles, in the interest of his wife, who was a claimant to the Earldom of Ross, quietly watched events and when the struggle began for the lands of the Earldom, he allowed his brother, Alasdair Carrach, to lead a strong force to Loss Ness side which was laid waste. Castle Urquhart was attacked and seized by the Lord of Lochaber and Glen Urquhart plundered by his followers. The rebellion was short lived and the Lord of the Isles and his two brothers, John Mor of Isla and Alasdair Carrach, were charged with treason. The two elder brothers submitted and were pardoned while the blame for the insurrection was conveniently taken by the Lord of Lochaber who was "imprisoned" by his brother Donald but soon released.
Alasdair was soon in trouble with the church over lands which he had distributed among his supporters. These included lands in Glen Urquhart with the keeping of Castle Urquhart to his loyal friend Charles MacLaine, a son of Lochbuie. On the 20th November 1398, a complaint was made against Alasdair by the Bishop of Moray for having the Church of Kinmylies and given the lands of Upper Kinmylies to one Ranald Mac Alexander and those of Lower Kinmylies to John Chishoim of the Aird besides having assigned the fishings of Lower Kinmylies to John White, a burgess of Inverness. Alasdair is here styled "Magnificus Vir et Potens Alexander de Insulis Dominus de Lochaber".
In 1402, when his bond was up, Alasdair Carrach took his revenge on the Bishop leading a strong body of his followers to Elgin where he raided the canonry, burnt most of the town and carried off spoils. For this he was threatened with excommunication and he thereafter repented and paid compensation for the damage done.
In 1411, the Lord of the Isles again attempted to enforce his claim to the Earldom of Ross. In this campaign he was ably supported by his brother, Alasdair Carrach. The Lord of Lochaber fought by his brother's side at Dingwall where the islesmen defeated the Sutherland clans under Angus Dubh MacKay, but is supposed not to have been allowed by his brother, Donald, to take a large part in the Battle of Harlaw "lest the whole of the brothers should be hazarded at once" (Hugh MacDonald's MS History).
Alasdair ably supported Donald during the rebellion of their brother, John Mor, instigated by the Abbot MacKinnon. The rebellion was eventually quelled and the brothers reconciled.
After the death of Donald, 2nd Lord of the Isles, in 1425, the treachery of the King, James I, resulting in the assassination of John Mor of Isla, at the hands of the King's agent, James Campbell, and the seizure of Alexander, the new Lord of the Isles and most of the principal chiefs at Inverness, in 1427, and the subsequent execution of some, including Alexander of Garmoran, a leading Macdonald chieftain, fanned the flames of rebellion and the fiery cross was sent through the dominions of the Lordship whenever Alexander was released. The army of the Isles, which included Alasdair Carrach and his followers marched, in 1429, through Lochaber, wasting the crown lands as it went and seized and burnt the town of Inverness. With the approach of the Royal Army and the desertion from the Banner of the Lord of the Isles by the Clans Chattan and Cameron the rebellion was soon quelled. After a series of reverses, Alexander surrendered to the King and was imprisoned in Tantallon Castle.
If the King thought the imprisonment of their Chief would quieten the Islesmen, he was much mistaken. In 1431, Alexander's cousin, Donald Balloch, son of John Mor of Isla, raised once more the Standard of rebellion in Sunart and called on the neighbouring clans to join him in attacking the Royal Army which was encamped before the Castle of Inverlochy. Donald Balloch set sail, with his followers, for lnverskippinish, two miles south of Inverlochy, where he remained until his force increased. He sent messengers to his uncle, Alasdair Carrach, requesting him to make ready for a combined attack. The forces of the Lord of Lochaber are said to have consisted, on this occasion, of a body of 220 archers which took up a strong position of strategic importance on the steep side of the hill overlooking the Castle of Inverlochy. From this vantage point Alasdair Carrach directed his archers to shoot their arrows at the unprotected flank of the Royal Army when it was hotly engaged with the Islesmen to its front. After this murderous discharge the Lochaber men swept down the hill in all the fury of a Highland charge, before which the Royal flank gave way. (Hugh MacDonald's MS History).
The Lord of the Isles was soon after released from captivity, but not before he had agreed to punish his relations who were responsible for destroying the King's forces at Inverlochy. Donald Balloch fled to Ireland for the time being and Alasdair Carrach, for his part in the rebellion, was dispossessed of all his estates. Most of his lands in Glen Spean and Glen Roy were granted to Malcolm Macintosh of Macintosh, Captain of Clan Chattan, who had fought on the Royalist side at Inverlochy, probably as compensation for what he had suffered as a result of the battle and almost certainly one of the conditions under which the Lord of the Isles was released. Alexander did not, however, grant Macintosh a charter for the lands until the year 1443, by which time Alasdair Carrach was probably dead. The Lordship of Loch aber was granted to the Earl of Mar.
