| | Maclean |
 | | His brother John, at the head of the Macleans, was in the expedition of Donald Balloch, cousin of the Lord of the Isles, in 1431, when the Islesmen ravaged Lochaber, and were encountered at Inverlochy, near Fort William, by the royal forces under the Earls of Caithness and Mar, whom they defeated. |
 | | He and Maclean of Lochbuie were among the barons of the Isles who accompanied Donald Dubh to Ireland, and at the command of the Earl of Lennox, claiming to be regent of Scotland, swore allegiance to the king of England. |
 | | The quarrel between the Macleans and the Macdonalds of Isla and Kintyre attracted, in 1589, the serious attention of the king and council, thus the rival chiefs, with Macdonald of Sleat, were summoned to Edinburgh. |
