	Clan MacDonald - Information from James Pringle Weavers
		Prolonged and extensive disputes regarding seniority and legitimacy ensued among the families of Clan Donald until the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, when the title of 'Lord MacDonell and Aros' was bestowed on Eneas, 9th of Glengarry and heir to the line of Celestine of Lochalsh.
		Alasdair was forfeited for his part in the insurrection of Donald Balloch in 1431, and by one of the complicated arrangements typical of the period, the Lord of the Isles granted these lands by charter in 1443, to Malcolm Mackintosh, Chief of Clan Chattan, though Keppoch retained superiority.
		Donald Gorm, 5th Chief, in 1539, made a final attempt to restore the Lordship of the Isles in his own person but was mortally wounded while attempting to capture Eilean Donan castle.

	Historian’s Corner
		Donald, son of Alisdair Mor, was now the leader of the cadet branch of the family.
		The Clan Donald history states that when Robert the Bruce decided it was time to come out of hiding in the Isles and reassert his claim to Kingship, Angus appointed Donald to accompany and protect the Bruce in his initial foray.
		Another important piece of evidence is that Donald served as witness to a charter, signed by the Bruce as Robert I. Unfortunately, the date of this document is in question.

	ClanDonald-Heritage.com: Branches
		Clan Donald’s height of power was hundreds of years earlier than the other clans under a totally different form of government.
		The Celtic law of rule by derbfine (Gaelic meaning 4 generations of family)is the reason Clan Donald was divided into branches, each ruled by a descendant of Donald instead of the feudalist concept of a united kingdom inherited by the eldest son.
		The branches of Clan Donald are based upon the different Clan Donald lands granted to the descendants of Donald of Islay.

		The descendants of Somerled's son Dugall became known as the Clan MacDougall, and grandson, Donald of the Isles, was the progenitor of the Clan Mac Donald, the most powerful and influential of them all.
		The eldest son of Angus Mor, he was chief of the Clan Mac Donald and heir to the MacDonald lands and titles, but lost them for opposing Robert Bruce in his claims to the Scottish crown after the line of Alexander III died out.
		Mac Dougall and Mac Donald are said to have been the oldest patronymic surnames on Man, as they were in the Scottish highlands.

	The Clan Alasdair
		Clan Alasdair eventually had four separate branches: the McAlesters of Loup (the chief's family), the MacAlisters of Tarbert, the Macalisters of Glenbarr, and the Alexanders of Menstrie, whose name was anglicized after they migrated to the Lowlands in the early 14th century.
		Finally, if Donald and his brother(s) had opposed Bruce, it seems unlikely that they would have remained in possession of their lands, and yet Donald's descendants are identified, not with Ireland or England, but with Kintyre.
		MacAlasdairs are represented in the States by two organizations: the Clan MacAlister Society, based in California and focused mainly on Highland games and similar events; and the Clan McAlister of America, whose focus is genealogy and clan history and whose journal is part of the permanent collections of 35 major libraries across the country.

		Macalister promoted the hypothesis of a Western Greek (Chalcidian) influence on the oghamic script (via Etruscan or a related alphabet), an influence which may also have given rise to the Germanic runic futhark (the runeform alphabet, named after its first few letters).
		Macalister further conjectured that ogham progressed from a spoken, to a finger-language, merged with a tally-stick tradition as a monumental script, before becoming a manuscript pedantry and nearly forgotten.
		This was done by Macalister in his monumental Corpus Inscriptionum Insularum Celticarum, and showed that the vast bulk of extant oghams occur in Ireland, with far lesser numbers in Scotland, Wales, England, and some of the islands.
