• Notes

  Sir Fitzroy Donald Maclean is probably most remembered for returning Duart Castle to the Clan Maclean. In 1912, Sir Fitzroy repurchased Duart Castle and began its restoration. At that time, the ancestral home of the Maclean Chiefs had been lost for nearly two centuries. It had suffered a devastating fire and was in a state of ruin. In August of 1912, Sir Fitzroy took position of the Clan's ancient seat on Mull and once again raised the Maclean Chief's Standard over the ramparts of Duart Castle. More than 400 clansmen traveled from across the globe to wittness the occasion. To commemorate his 100th birthday, Sir Fitzroy planted a rowan tree on the grounds of the castle. In 1932, Sir Fitzroy and the Duke of Argyll, Chief of the Campbells, officially ended the 187 year old feud between the Macleans and the Campbells. He survived all his sons
