Roderick Macdonald of Shuggary, later of Dungarry, Port Hood, Cape Breton. He is stated to be of the Borrodale family and this would appear to be the most likely generation he would come from. I am indebted to George MacGillivray for information on Roderick's descendants, who look on themselves as Borrodale Macdonalds. - Tearlach MacFarlane: Some notes on the Macdonalds of Glenalladale & Borrodale, Clan Donald Magazine No 12 p 105. | MACDONALD, Roderick of Shuggary (I5083)

The Scottish novelist, Eric Linklater (1899-1974) was a prolific writer of novels, popular histories and children's stories. 1932. He was born in 1899, the son of Captain Robert Linklater, of Dounby, Orkney. According to some sources, Eric Linklater was born there in Dournby, Orkney Islands, but it was not until in his third volume of autobiography, FANFARE FOR A TIN HAT, when he corrected the birth place: it is Penarth, Wales. "I have never said that I was born in Orkney, but my close connections with the islands prompted that assumption." However, Linklater regarded the islands as his spiritual home. His father was a master mariner and the family moved back to Orkney when Linklater was very young. He attended the Intermediate School for boys and Aberdeen Grammar School. In 1916 he entered the Aberdeen University to read medicine and English.
A young soldier during the '14 - '18 war, he was seriously wounded in France while serving with the Black Watch. He continued his studies of medicine and English at Aberdeen, receiving his M.A. in 1925. From 1925 to 1927 he worked as an assistant editor of The Times of India in Bombay. He returned to university work in Aberdeen and in the United States, but his inclination was for writing. His first novel, WHITE-MAA'S SAGA, an autobiographical story about a young Orcadian who attends medical school in 'Inverdoon', published in 1929, gained immediate appreciation, especially in his native islands. Thereafter a stream of novels, essays, and plays placed him in a foremost position among modern authors. The play THE DEVIL'S IN THE NEWS (1929) concerns a s | LINKLATER, Eric of Dounby (I3452)

William Macdonald, 1st of Aird & Vallay, Tutor of Sleat.
DUNTULM CASTLE was formerly, the residence of Clann Domhnuill called "The Lords of the Isles." Sir Alexander Macdonald's great-grandfather, viz., the first Sir James, built a large circular tower (now demolished) at the house of Monkstadt, in which the family resided afterwards for many years. An establishment was, however, kept up at Duntulm Castle for a long time after the death of Sir James. The last of the family born there was Domhnull Ban, only son of Sir Donald Macdonald, commonly called "Domhnull a' Chogaidh," and great-grandson of Sir James. He was an amiable, much beloved, and promising youth, but he died, greatly lamented, by the bursting of a blood vessel, when on a visit to the Island of Berneray, in the Sound of Harris. The family afterwards resided alternately at Monkstadt, in Troternish, and at Armadale, in the parish of Sleat. William the "Taightear" or Tutor, was likewise born in Duntulm Castle. His elder brother was Domhnull a' Chogaidh, and their father was Sir Donald Macdonald, commonly called Domhnull Breac, who was married to Lady Mary Douglas. William the Taightear was major under the Earl Of Mar in the battle of Sheriffmuir, and his brother Domhnull a'
Chogaidh, while on his way to that bloody field, was seized with a fit of paralysis at Perth, wbich disabled him from proceeding farther. On account of the part which Domhnull a' Chogaidh and his vassals took in that rebellion, his estates were forfeited to the Crown. For some years afterwards the barony of Troternish was managed by a Government factor of the name of Donald Macleod, alias " Domhnull Mac Ruairidh Mhic Uilleim," whose services were anything but acceptable to the inhabitants of Troternish. At length the Property was returned by the Crown, not, however, to the rightful heir, but to William the Taightear, who got possession of it in his own name. No sooner, however had this taken place than he delivered it over to his brother Domhnull a' Chogaidh. The Taightear lived and died at Aird, a place about two miles north of Duntulm Castle. His remains were interred in the parish burying-ground, Quite near the spot where the remains of the celebrated Flora Macdonald were buried many years afterwards. The funeral of the Taightear was attended by many thousands from all parts of Skye and of the adjacent isles. An idea may be formed of the number present on that occasion when it is stated that the procession was two miles in length, with six men walking abreast. Seven pipers were in attendance, who, by having been placed at certain distances in the procession, severally played the usual "coronach," or funeral lament, all the way from the residence of the deceased to the cemetery. Upwards of three hundred imperial gallons of whisky were provided for the occasion, with every other necessary refreshment. Except the funeral of Flora Macdonald, which as to numbers was similarly attended, that of the Taightear was the largest ever known in Skye.
As has been already stated, the Crown appointed the above-named "Domhnull Mac Ruairidh Mhic Uilliem" as Government factor over the barony of Troternish. He occupied the farm of Gienbrittle, on the property of Macleod of Dunvegan, and in the parish or Bracadale. He was a man possessed of considerable talents and accuteness of mind - a firm adherent of the reigning Government, and an inveterate enemy to all who professed Jacobite Principles.
