| Notes 1 | "* In his letter giving an account of the battle of Waterloo the Duke of Wellington says:—“I must particularly mention the 28th, 42nd, 76th and 92nd regiments, and the battalion of Hanoverians.” These are the only corps he notices by name." |
| Notes 2 | "The Macdonalds are descended from Somhairle Mor Mac Gille-Bride, a brave warrior who ruled over the greater part of Argyle-shire, and the Western Coast of Inverness-shire. The statement that Somhairle was descended from Conn Ceud Chathach, a king of Ireland who is said to have reigned about the year 125 is an unfounded fable. He was slain in battle at Renfrew in the year 1164. His eldest son, Dougall was the progenitor of the Macdongalls of Lorn. His fourth son, Ronald, had a son named Donald, who became a very distinguished person, and from whom the surname of Macdonald was adopted. Donald’s grandson, Angus òg, fought under Bruce at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Angus òg’s successor, John, had four sons:—Ranald, ancestor of the Clan-Ranald; Donald, ancestor of the Macdonalds of Sleat; John Mor, ancestor of the Macdonalds of Islay and of the Earls of Antrim; and Alexander, ancestor of the Macdonnells of Keppoch. Angus òg had an illegitimate son, named John Fraoch, from whom the Macdonalds of Glencoe are descended. Ranald, ancestor of the Clan-Ranald, was succeeded by his eldest son, Allan. His second son whose name was Donald had two sons, and from Alexander, the youngest, the Macdonnells of Glengarry are descended." |
