HistoryLink Essay:Ranald MacDonald (1824-1894), Adventurer The terms of MacDonald's reshipment were a payment on share profit, the ordinary terms of a whaler, but with a very special condition on his part, that he could leave the ship somewhere off the coast of Japan at the time and place he should designate after the ship had attained a full load. From then on, Ranald MacDonald was kept confined in Japan and always under close surveilance, walking some, carried in the palanquin some, by a series of voyages and junks, he was taken from the island where he landed, finally to Nagasaki. In the 1880s when MacDonald wrote the story of his Japanese adventure, he stated that having been required to sit as the Japanese did, he was instructed that on the entrance of the governor, he was not to look at him, but to bow low. www.historylink.org /essays/printer_friendly/index.cfm?file_id=7291   (7974 words)

The Clan Ranald of Lochaber The MacDonalds of Garragach and Keppoch, called the Clan Ranald of Lochaber, were descended from Alexander, or Allaster Carrach, third son of John, Lord of the Isles, and Lady Margaret Stewart.

Ranald MacDonald: The Narrative of His Life, 1824-1894. by Juliet Pollard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) In part, this can be explained by Macdonald's and McLeod's desire to follow the genre established by nineteenth-century historians like Francis Parkman and George Bancroft, who saw history as a branch of literature and arranged their scholarship in dramatic fashion so as to present a readable story. Not only is Macdonald emphatic on this point in his unpublished correspondence, but a letter of his father's reprinted in the `Accounts' confirms that the McDonald parents did `not mention the princess' (Macdonald's Chinook mother) to him. Taken as history or as literature, Ranald MacDonald remains a remarkable tale of the global adventures of a native son of the fur trade who sought harmonious relationships with all people wherever he went. www.utpjournals.com /product/chr/732/macdonald13.html   (636 words)

RANALD ALASDAIR MacDONALD of KEPPOCH v. THE LORD ADVOCATE FOR CONFIRMATION OF ARMS, 30 January 2004, Lord ... There is no documentary evidence to prove that Donald [82] was the son of Ranald [79] or that Ranald was the son of Donald [74] or that Donald was the son of Alexander of Inverroy Mor [70]...
