A correction to my post of 15th Nov. 2011, is called for. In para. 4 I referred to the memoirs of Evander MacIver and the apparent connection of John Macdonald, Scoraig, with the "Kingsburgh Macdonalds".

In fact the Memoir makes it clear that the connection would have been with the Macdonalds of Skaebost. The Skaebost Macdonalds occupied Kingsburgh farm following the departure of the celebrated Allan and Flora Macdonald, (of the Kingsburgh family),for America.
