Notes |
- 22 Mar 2001 - Reference page 101 in the Medlam PDF Files. Colin in his younger days was a suitor for the hand of a lady of great beauty, the daughter of MacDonell of Ardnabee in Glengarry. So were Colin's cousin Fraser of Culbokie and Coll MacDonell of Barrisdale. The lady favoured Barrisdale but the father favoured Culbokie because he was richer. eventually she married Fraser of Culbokie and bore him nine sons and five daughters. This left Barrisdale and Colin to seek a bride elsewhere. Both of them were suitors for the hand of Helen, daughter of Grant of Glenmoriston. While both were on a visit to her father's house, a ride in the braes was proposed. When about to start, it was found that the lady's mounting chair had not yet been provided. Barrisdale with characteristic politeness entered the house to obtain one. Colin lifted the non-reluctant damsel in his arms and placed her in the saddle. Glenmoristen, looking on and judging from this incident the direction in which the feelings of his daughter lay, cried out "Colin, the lass is yours."
