He retired to Morocco about three years ago and divides his time between Dublin, Prague, and Tangier. The heir-presumptive to the title is the count's brother, Count Peter MacDonnell, who resides in Paris.

Is this the Earl of Antrim or someone altogether different?

those Wilson's colours are lovely. They look a bit like House of Edgar's "muted" range, but nicer.

I devised a MacCook/Cook (Arran and Kintyre) tartan.

Totally different gentlemen. Antrim, as I seem to recall, descends through the female line of a cadet branch, and became a MacDonald by change of name. Get a pre-1960 copy of Burke's or Debretts to check out Antrim's lineage.
