John, the second son, and Angus the Fair, the youngest, had gone to Mull
to wait on Sir John M''Lean of Dowart, about business; and it happened the
very next day after their arrival in the island, that Sir John was engaged
to fight with the M''Donalds of Lairg. Since this was the case, the two
brothers would not be dissuaded from joining them in the engagement, in
which, alas! John was killed. It was reported in Sky, that Angus the Fair
was likewise found among the slain, which gave occasion to the elegy
that was made of him, in which were described with great propriety and
elegance, his beauty, courage and valour. He had two sons both children
when he fell. The eldest Peter was a physician. He died without
succession. The other Duncan had a son called Christopher, who had a
son named John. And John had two sons, Duncan and Peter. [Manuscript

Angus, who had the appellation of the Fair, the sixth and youngest son,
married a daughter of Campbell of Ronsay in the long island, by whom he
had two sons, Ferquhard and Donald.
