152 ANGUS OF FERSIT MACDONALD OF KEPPOCH, 2nd CHIEF

Aonghais Na Fearsaid (ca1478 - 1497)

The Clan continued to hold their lands by the might of the sword and although the 2nd Chief, Angus of Fersit (Aonghas na Fearsaid) as he was known, from the fact that his principal residence was at Fersit near the north end of Loch Treig, is little heard of in history, he is said to have been as great a man as his father and to have encouraged industry among his clansmen. Domhnall Mac Fhionnlaigh Nan Dan, the old hunter bard of Loch Treig and composer of An Comhachag (The Owl) a long Gaelic poem in the early 17th century refers to a mill founded by Angus at Fersit. A mill stone belonging to this mill, now suitably inscribed, can be seen at Fersit.

Angus of Fersit and his followers flocked to the Banner of John, 4th Lord of the Isles and Earl of Ross in 1451 when the High Chief of Clan Donald led his vassals along the shores of Loch Ness and through Badenoch as his contribution to the rebellion he had planned with the House of Douglas. During the insurrection, which lasted until the following year, the Castles of Urquhart and Inverness were seized and held by the Islesmen and the Castle of Ruthven entirely demolished.

Angus and his Clan took part in the naval expedition which Donald Balloch of Isla led to the Firth of Clyde in 1455, in pursuance of the same cause as that of 1451-52.

Angus is witness to a charter of John, Earl of Ross, at Dingwall in 1463 when he is styled "Angus Alexandri de Insulis'. He is said to have died at Fersit but the exact date of his death is unknown. He married a daughter of MacPhee of Glenspean, head of a prominent sept in the Braes at that time, by whom he had:

1. Donald, his successor.

2. Alexander, afterwards Chief.

3. Mariot, who married Allan Cameron of Lochiel (Ailein nan Creach).

173 CORRECTING THE MISINFORMATION. FORTHCOMING PAPER BY COUNCILLOR IAN MACDONNELL TO HIGH COUNCIL - 2022.

Alaxandair Og was not mentioned in the 1314 Parliament of Cambuskenneth relating to the “statute of disinheritance on those who had died or lived outside the faith and peace of the king." Because he unequivocally never did.

Never has a shred of primary or even credible secondary evidence been produced that shows Alaxandair Og was deposed and forfeited by King Robert I.


The Clan Donald Chief Alaxandair Og, son of Angus Mor, son of Donald was killed in 1299. The "account" of his capture by Edward Bruce and dying in a dungeon is simply untrue. The story of his deposition in 1308 is a falsehood. Alaxandair Og was not killed at Faughart with Edward Bruce in 1318. That was Angus Og. All the sons of Alaxandair Og did not settle in Ireland. That the MacAlisters of Loup, Kintyre, also descend from Alaxandair Og "is certainly correct." The pivotal Clan Donald MacAlasandair Abbots of Iona and Saddell abbeys are the first identifiable MacAlisters descended from Chief Alaxandair Og (not uncle Alaster Mor).

This paper argues that:

1. The Clan Donald Chief Alaxandair Og, son of Angus Mor, son of Donald was killed in 1299.

2. The "account" of his capture by Edward Bruce and dying in a dungeon in 1308 is simply untrue.

3. The story of his deposition in 1308 is a falsehood.

4. Alaxandair Og was not killed at Faughart with Edward Bruce in 1318.

5. All the sons of Alaxandair Og did not settle in Ireland.

6. MacAlisters of Loup, Kintyre, also descend from Alaxandair Og "is certainly correct."

7. The pivotal Clan Donald MacAlasandair Abbots of Iona and Saddell abbeys are the first identifiable MacAlisters descended from Chief Alaxandair Og (not uncle Alaster Mor). One of the paper's aims is to secure and protect this lineage from being usurped for any other pedigree.

8. "Clann Alaxandair (Og)" is an armigerous branch of Clan Donald and can be matriculated in Scotland.

The paper provides additional facts, new analysis and opinions relating to the above eight statements.

It attempts to nullify more than a century of inaccurate history of the type above, written by two highly regarded churchmen and respected authors, which has been reworked and repeated countless times making it all seem undeniable fact. And there is a proliferation of amateur websites that regurgitate (copy/paste) the same story. This cannot be done with a few words or lines. It can only be done with academic discipline, extensive "best evidence" proving what are the primary sources and the ultimate facts, setting forth extensive, fully referenced analysis with clear, unequivocal explanations.

These issues have been a bone of contention for historians for centuries and specifically numbers six to eight for the Court of Lord Lyon since 1846/7.

They are complex, difficult to disentangle, disputed, contested and have been made worse by the long passage of time. All of the issues above have not been fully addressed before as an integrated whole with only individual parts mentioned briefly in works covering much longer periods (understandably).
