But the eloquence and the determination of the young prince won over Clanranald and the Macdonalds of Kinloch-Moidart; Charles disembarked and took up his headquarters at Borrodaile farm in Inverness-shire.
He had started an extraordinary, scandalous paper that, to avoid sequestration, changed its name and offices every few issues, and was said by Loyalists, like the Topnambos, to have an extremely bad influence. He subsisted a good deal on the charity of people like the Macdonalds, and I used sometimes to catch sight of him at evenfall listening to Mrs.
It may be so with this lady if the minister gives her a glimpse of light from above." "She shall not be carried off, if David and I can hide her," declared Rollo. "One of us must watch the Macdonalds, while the other entertains the lady." "While she entertains you, you mean," said Annie, smiling. "She has many wonderful things to tell to such as we are." "Not more than we have to tell her.
At Laggavoulin Bay, an inlet on the east coast, and on the opposite side to the village, on a large peninsular rock, stands part of the walls of a round substantial stone burgh or tower, protected on the land side by a thick earthen mound. This may have been a Danish structure, subsequently used by the Macdonalds, and it was one of their strongest naval stations.
Bruce conferred on the Macdonalds the distinction of holding the post of honour on the right in battle the withholding of which at Culloden occasioned a degree of disaffection on their part, in that dying struggle of the Stuart dynasty.
"Oh yes, no doubt!" said he; "but the Macdonalds were asked first to give up the men that had bound the Macleods hand and foot and set them adrift in the boat, and they would not do it. And if the Macdonalds had got the Macleods into a cave, they would have suffocated them too. The Macdonalds began it." "Oh, no, no, no," protested Mrs. Ross; "I can remember better than that.
They approved of the line of march which Dundee had laid out, and the chiefs, wonderful to say, raised no objection to the arrangement of the clans in the fighting line, even although the MacDonalds were placed on the left, which was not a situation that proud clan greatly fancied.
In 1647 three hundred of the Macdonalds who held a fortified post on a hill in Kintire surrendered at discretion to David Leslie. It is said that Leslie would have let them go but for his chaplain, John Nave.
He took it for granted that nothing had been done in Glencoe beyond what was doing in many other glens. There had been a night brawl, one of a hundred night brawls, between the Macdonalds and the Campbells; and the Campbells had knocked the Macdonalds on the head. By slow degrees the whole truth came out.
A Frankfort sur Maine, a Banquier of that Town. The Prince may have been at Frankfort, but, as a rule, he was hiding in Lorraine when not in Paris or near it, and, as we have seen, was under the protection of various French and fashionable Flora Macdonalds. Of these ladies, 'Madame de Beauregard' and the Princesse de Talmond are apparently the same person.
