The lands were taken by parliament for excessive raiding of Glengarry lands. Kevin Eugene of the Canadian Glengarry Sandfields was our nearest dna relative till very recently when another Australian line was tested. Kevin Eugene and our line had a MRCA in about 1610, around the time of the last of the Knoydart McDonalds. Our lot came from Loch Hourne, I suspect Arnisdale. Other uncles ended up at Sourlies Knoydart, Canada and New Zealand. My ggg grandfather sold a farm at Glenelg to emigrate out here to Australia.
