Clan Donald History

The history section is divided into pre-1900 and 1900 onwards, which will be found on the sub-pages. There is also a sub-page for the June 2011 service on Iona. All information is presented in good faith and is intended to be as factual as possible, but The Clan Donald Society of the Highlands and Islands cannot be held responsible for its accuracy. Note: Corrections and additions are most welcome.
