| Notes 1 | "Colonel Alexander Ranaldson Macdonnel of Glengarry was a genuine specimen of a Highland chief. He claimed to be the chief of the whole Macdonald clan. He was married to Rebecca, a daughter of Sir William Forbes of Pitsligo. He was killed, January 1828, in jumping from a steamer which had gone ashore. He always treated the poet with great kindness. Colonel Macdonnel left the estate very much in debt, and his son, Angus was obliged to sell it. It was purchased by the Marquis of Huntly, who in 1840 sold it for £91,000. General Sir James Macdonnell, G.C.B., was a brother to Glengarry. He distinguished himself highly at Waterloo. He died in May, 1857." |
