Tradition states, the MacDonalds are the descendants of Conn, the Supreme  King of Ireland, and swayed the sceptre at Tara, County Meath, Ireland. This  Conn of the Hundred Battles, reigned in the second century of our Christian  era, and was one of the greatest heroes of antiquity. The Poet and and  Scholar, Ewan MacLachlan penned the Royal Lineage of the MacDonalds!

Clanranald     One of the most elegant and descriptive phrases I  have found concerning the MacDonalds of Clanranald is below: This was written  by Joseph Ernest Renan a French philosopher and writer of the nineteenth  century. ?If the excellence of race is to be appreciated by the purity of  blood and the inviobility of their national character, it must still be  admitted that no one can vie in nobility with the still surviving members of  the Scottish race. Never has a human family lived more apart from the world,  and been purer from all alien admixture. Confined by conquest within forgotten  islands and peninsulas, it has reared an impossible barrier against external  influences, it has drawn all from itself.? This is even today applicable to  the Clanranald families of Nova Scotia.
