MacLellan (Unknown) (Eigg Mountain Settlement History)

 

The foundation at this site (southwest of the Eigg Mountain Road across from the start of the MacMillan Road) is on land once owned by MacLellans.  However, there are two other known foundations on this lot, on the northeast side of the road, one attributed to Old John MacIsaac and one to Donald MacMillan.  The 1891 census puts a John MacEachern and his son roughly at this location.  Charlie has no knowledge of this site.

 

This foundation is 22 ft square oriented 42º or northeast.  The cellar, along the full extent of the southeast wall extends 16 ft to the northwest.
