MacDonald_Loddy– (Eigg Mountain Settlement History)

MacLean Vol. 1 pages 113-114 wrote “On the brow of the mountain there were a few later settlers, namely…Coll McDonald, son of Lody McDonald, Arisaig…”

Rev. MacGillivray spelled the name Lody while Rev. Rankin spelled the name Loddy.

See Rankin pages 241-243 – Rankin is confusing on Colin MacDonald who married Mary Gillis – there are two different entries – I selected the second one on page 242 as the family living on Eigg Mountain.
