Donald entered Glasgow University in 1886, at the age of sixteen but left without completing his M.A. to enter the Free Church Hall and study for the ministry.[1] In 1891, while attending the Keswick Convention for the first time, he had a deep religious experience that he later described as "the wonder of forgiveness."[2]
Tissington Tatlow wrote that Donald Fraser "left his mark permanently on the [British] movement."[7] These early years of involvement in the SVM were also important in quite different ways for Fraser's future missionary career.

Before the use of surnames one Donald was distinguished from another by a designation of where they were from, their trade, their father's name, or a physical characteristic.
So we use the ancient designation Clan Donald to include all the various surnames that are affiliated with the Lordship of the Isles and the family of Donald of Islay.
The slogan of Clan Donald in Latin is “Per Mare Per Terras”, meaning By Sea By Land, which fits the lifestyle of these seafarers who ruled the seas, the islands, and the peninsulas because of their ability to quickly move armies with their nyvaigs (gaelic for boat or galley).
