Macdonell Of Keppoch

[BoldHighlander]

When I have remembered how to post pictures, I will post some pictures for you in the picture section--watch this space,but don't hold your breath!The MacDonells of Keppoch were a warlike bunch and came to he fore again in 1745 in the first action of the revolution at High Bridge,only 4 miles or so from the battle of Mulroy.Picture will also be enclosed.

Thanks Jock Scot, I greatly appreciate it

Indeed, I have been running across a number of mentions of the Macdonells of Keppoch through out "The Independent Companies 1603 - 1760" by Peter Simpson.
In one chapter where there is discussion about the early Independent Companies (1603 - 1660) and lawlessness in the Highlands, and some rather infamous characters: e.g. Black John (Iain Dubh Cearr), James Grant of Carron, etc; it mentions the following:

Apart from the famous individual robbers already mentioned, there existed a clan dimension in that three main clans, Camerons, Macdonalds of Keppoch and the Macdonalds of Glencoe not only sheltered the caterans but were notorious for raiding in their own right."

Seems those Macdonells of Keppoch were a troublesome crew, eh?
