Extract from Letter to David Bruce to the Rt. Hon. Lord
Chief Baron and Permanent Barons of the Court of the Exchequer
in
Scotland - Edinburgh - 23rd January 1748/49
Re Arrears
"That there was not arrears due from the said estate
at the time of the said Donald Macdonald's conviction, most
part thereof having been then in his own possession. That
the greatest part of the land was waste from the year 1745,
till Whitsunday 1747, and that most of the rents due at the
said term have been paid by the tenant to the ladies of Kinlochmoidart,
older and younger.
And I have made enquiries with respect to the condition of
the present tenants and possessors of the said estate, and
was informed that they were all in very poor circumstances
and none of them have any other dwelling or office houses,
but poor mean huts of no value.
(He also values the garden and woods of the estate)
"I also made enquiries for what personal estate, cows,
cattle, Horses, Sheep, or other goods and chattels, belonged
to the said Donald Macdonald, but could find none, and I was
informed that his haill goods and effects were carried off
by the King's Troops when they burnt the house of Kinloch.
May 1746
"I also made enquiry for the Charter Chest and papers
of Donald Macdonald but could find none. I was informed that
some of his papers may be in the hands of the heirs of the
deceased George Gordon, Writer to the Signet, who was his
doer."

stick out against paying unless compelled by military force."
1750 Patrick Campbell, agent, would like to see a loyal colony
planted, but fears for his life almost, at the hands of the
Macdonalds. "Wild, barbarous, with no manners."
"All Roman Catholics."
1754 Petition John Macdonald
On behalf of Ulgary men, that they should not have to pay

Macdonald; and Mary MacDougall, alias Macdonald (ulgary),
-
John Macdonald, Assary.
1754 Another petition. John Macdonald in Assary (signs badly).
James Glass disposes "The others touched my pan and declared
that they could not write." "The poor petitioners
and their already indigent families." (N.B. this petition

Note from 'Among the Clanranalds' re emigrations P.213
1773 - Emigration to P.E.I. of John Glenaladale and the persecuted
Catholics of Boisdale, plus many of the tenants of Lochshiel
side, the Natives of the hamlet of Druuim na laoight almost
to a man going away on this occasion, 200 or 300 men went
altogether.
1812 (circa) Most of the Kinlochmoidart tenants emigrated
to America - the natives of Ulgary, Kinlochuachair, Brunery
and the lower parts of the Strath, may be said to have gone
away in one body, leaving their lands to be incorporated in
one or two large holdings.
Marginal note beside the above: ?? It is clear there was a
substantial emigration to P.E.I. from Kinlochmoidart in 1790,
under Angus B. Maceachen, afterwards Bishop.
