Clan Donald
Clan Donald is a Scottish Highland clan descended from Domhnall, grandson of Somerled, King of the Isles. Its chiefs held the Lordship of the Isles from the 14th century until the title was forfeited to the Scottish crown in 1493, ruling the Hebrides and much of the western seaboard. Afterwards it divided into branches such as the MacDonalds of Clanranald, Glengarry, Keppoch and Sleat.
