this
fatal day proved so fatal to us as it did; [Add
to this, what we of the clan Clan Mcdonald’s
McDonalds thought Ominous ominous, we had not
this day the right hand in battle as formerly and as we
enjoyed in this Enterprise enterprize when the event
proved successfull;, as at Gladsmoor Gladsmuir
& and
Falkirk, and which our clan maintains they
we had enjoyed in all our battles and struggles in behalf of our
Royal Royall Family family since the
battle of Bannockburn, on in
which glorious day Rob. Robert the
Bruce bestowed this honour upon Angus Mcdonald McDonald,
Lord of the Isles, as areward a
reward for of
his never to be forgotten forgot fidelity to that brave Prince
prince in protecting him for above 9 nine months
in his Countrys country of Rack.lin Rachlin,
in Isla & and Uist Vist,
as the same name have done since to his Royal royall
Successor successor. This right we have (I
say) enjoyed ever since, unless when yeilded by us
out of favour, upon particular occasions, as was done
to the Laird of Mcclean McLean at the battle of
Harlaw.; ------ but our sweet natured Prince
P. was prevailed on by L----l & L. and
his faction to assign this honour to another .…..l & (?)
on this fatal fatall day, which right we judge
they will not refuse to yield yeild us back again
nixt next (..ghti…)
fighting day. As to particulars of the Colloden
Culloden battle I leave it to the above mentioned
abovementiond & and other Accounts
accounts well known to many
