    Notes:

    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

    Notes:

    Ranald Og Macdonald, 11th of Keppoch. dsp 1641. Ranald Og (means the younger) is mentioned on record in the year 1636 as "of Keppoch" which could indicate that he was the chief. He was in hiding, for his part in the rebellion of Sir James Macdonald of Sleat in 1615 (see Alasdair nan Cleas, 10th chief) in Lochaber for about six years. He went to London. possibly to secure a pardon, and was reinstated in his position in Lochaber He made peace with MacIntosh but was unable to resolve his problems with Grant Freuchie. With the death of his father in 1635 he was committed to the Tolbooth in Edinburgh for failing to conform to the terms of "The General Bond" which held the chiefs responsible for their tenants' actions or lack thereof. He went to London and was freed in 1636 after putting up sufficient security. After this he took the side of the Covenanters (those loyal to the King). In 1639 Argyll raided Lochaber as "Champion of Calvinism" and plundered and burned the area including Keppoch castle. He showed no mercy to any who crossed his path and left a force of 220 men to keep order in Lochaber. By 1640 that force had been killed or driven out by the inhabitants of Lochaber. In October of 1641 Ranald's brother Donald Glas is recorded as "of Keppoch". Ranald Og married a daughter of William Macintosh of Borlum without issue. It is reported that Ranald Og died of smallpox. He was succeeded by his brother Donald Glas. [From Ceapach: The Keppoch Newsletter by Joyce Haskell ([email protected]) in turn edited from Clan Ranald of Lochaber by Norman H Macdonald FSA Scot].

  5. 15.  Donald Glas 12 MACDONELL, of Keppoch Descendancy chart to this point (7.Alasdair3, 3.NicDuncan2, 1.Janet1) died in 1650.

    Notes:

    Donald Glas Macdonald, 12th of Keppoch. d. 1650. Donald Glas and the Keppochs formed part of the force raised in 1644, at Aberdeen by the Marquis of Huntly in support of Charles 1. After that year when Montrose raised the Royal Standard, Donald Glas and his men joined Alasdair MacColla Macdonald (Young Colkitto) to gather forces from the Isles. Donald Glas commanded the center of the loyal Clans in the battle of Inverlochy. The Royal Army, with Montrose as Captain-General and Alasdair MacColla Macdonald as Lieutenant-General, marched on Argyll and plundered the whole district. The Macdonalds took the opportunity to wreak vengeance of the followers of MacCailein Mor in return for the depredations of the Campbells in 1639. The entire regions of Argyll and Lorn were devastated. Montrose then received word that Argyll was at Inverlochy Castle with 3,000 men and that Argyll was laying Lochaber to waste. Montrose then launched an attack on Inverlochy that laid the Campbell troops to waste. In 1645 they returned home to protect their lands from the soldiers of the Covenart. The following year Glencoe, hearing of a marriage between the daughter of Campbell and Menzies of Culdares, thought that would be a good time to raid the area. Along with their kinsmen of Keppoch they raided the lands of Campbell of Glenorchy. 120 Keppoch men joined the raid led by Angus Og of Achnancoichean, youngest brother of the Chief. As they were returning with their spoils the Campbells rushed to regain their cattle and overtook them at Margowan. There was a terrible battle in which the Macdonalds came out the winner. The cost to Lochaber was the death of MacIan of Glen Coe and Angus Og. Donald Glas' death seems to have been in 1650 though there is not record of it. Donald Glas married firstly Jean, Daughter of Robertson of Struan without surviving male issue. He married secondly a daughter of Forrester of Kilbeggie by whom he had Alexander, his successor, Ranald, who was murdered with his brother at Keppoch castle in 1663 and a daughter.

    Notes:

    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.
