    Notes:

    The following is taken from the Clan Donald website, and contains differing family details:
    William the "Taightear" or Tutor, was likewise born in Duntulm Castle. His elder brother was Domhnull a' Chogaidh, and their father was Sir Donald Macdonald, commonly called Domhnull Breac, who was married to Lady Mary Douglas. William the Taightear was major under the Earl Of Mar in the battle of Sheriffmuir, and his brother Domhnull a' Chogaidh, while on his way to that bloody field, was seized with a fit of paralysis at Perth, wbich disabled him from proceeding farther. On account of the part which Domhnull a' Chogaidh and his vassals took in that rebellion, his estates were forfeited to the Crown. For some years afterwards the barony of Troternish was managed by a Government factor of the name of Donald Macleod, alias " Domhnull Mac Ruairidh Mhic Uilleim," whose services were anything but acceptable to the inhabitants of Troternish. At length the Property was returned by the Crown, not, however, to the rightful heir, but to William the Taightear, who got possession of it in his own name. No sooner, however had this taken place than he delivered it over to his brother Domhnull a' Chogaidh. The Taightear lived and died at Aird, a place about two miles north of Duntulm Castle.
