Copy of a manuscript about the MacDonalds of Sleat and North Uist, including stories about the sons of Hugh MacDonald of Sleat viz Donald Galloch, Trotternish and Sleat [An t-Eilean Sgitheanach], Donald Herrach [Hearach], Griminish, North Uist [Griminis, Uibhist a Tuath] and Gillespig Duh [Gilleasbuig Dubh]. How Gilleasbuig Dubh murdered both of his brothers is recorded as is the subsequent revenge of his nephew. Also recorded are the lands that families subsequently occupied and whether there are people who claim to be descended from these families. The movements of Ranald Mac Dhonuil Herrich [Raghnall mac Dhòmhnaill Hearaich] from Uibhist/Uist to Ireland and back is also recorded as is his demise at the hands of Donald Gruamach's steward. The manuscript was dated as being written at Kalin in May 1837 by J[ames] M[a]cD[onald]. The accompanying note reads 'Copied by Peter Bain Preventive man from a MS [manuscript] lent me by Mr Donald MacDonald Keallin son of the late Lieut[enant] James MacDonald who wrote the MS' [Ceallan/Kallin, Griomsaigh/Grimsay]. Carmichael also notes that he compared the copy with the manuscript.
