Inverness / Re: Campbell's in North Uist ?
« on: Saturday 29 July 06 05:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi  Little  Bernie
 Like you I was bought up with a  never trust a Campbell  or a Lewis and we were forbidden to marry Catholic. For recent times this strikes me as one  strong vendetta. My Father a Macdonald never forgave the massacre of the macdonalds at Glencoe.
He was born in nz but carried his scottish ancestry to the letter.
Isn't it interesting how family accounts of bygone eras can have so much influence on a person.
I would not be surprised if Campbells lived in North Uist.
Cheers
Annie  Mac

From Annie Mac
I am supposedly a direct descendant of Flora Macdonald. We have the clan chief living close by. Donald Macdonald.
My father Gordon Macdonald who passed away recently helped establish thesuccessor.
The clan donald reunion has, or is about to happen at Kilimuir.
The females and males were often given the mother's maiden name as a middle name. Morag is Gaelic for Sarah.
Keep in touch
