- "Second son of Doungallus, was seized of the estate of the Tombermory inthe Isle of Mull and Findanus Castle (Dunakin) in the Isle of Skye, knownby the name of MacKinnon Castle in the present day; this castle was theresidence of the Lairds of MacKinnon till the 14th century, whenStrathardill, also in Skye, became their seat. Findanus and his bride,the Norse princess nicknamed ‘Saucy Mary,’ ran a heavy chain from Skye toLochalsh and levied a toll on all shipping passing up and down. It isfrom him that the MacKinnon chiefs obtained their Gaelic Patronymic."
"Son of Findanus, called MacFingon MacAlpin, acquired further property inthe Western Isles and in the shires of Perth and Ross. For some periodafter this the descendants of Alpin frequently assumed the patronymic ofMacAlpin in addition to their other appellations."
