Scotland, Isle of Skye: By 1733, the Skye estates had been restored to the |
Macdonalds and were under the proprietorship of Sir Alexander, 14th Chief of Sleat. |
The Macdonalds had two major operations on Skye; one at Trotternish, the other at |
Sleat. Trotternish, under the factorship of Martin Martin[sic] of Kingsburrow |
[Kingsburgh], was divided into 49 income producing farms. Sleat, under the factorship |
of Alexander Macdonald, also of Kingsburrow, divided into 33 income producing farms. |
In 1733, a historically-significant event occurred that provides some insight into the |
operation of the Macdonald estates as well as sparse genealogical information on the |
people who lived there. This event was the set or allocation of the farms on the |
estates, as described in a document entitled "The Judicial Rental of Skye, 1733" |
. . . 127 pages of depositions taken for the Rent Roll of 1733, . . . more than 400 |
people, six were taken in the Scots tongue [footnoted "Language of the Lowlanders"], |
two were taken in English, and the rest were taken in the Irish (Gaelic) tongue. |
"Extracts from the 1733 Rent Roll for Sleat" includes these seven: |
1. "Donald McGinnish", in "Tormore" estate; |
2. "Donald McKinish", and |
3. "Finlay McKinish", both in "Tokavaig" estate; |
4. "John McInish", in "Aird" estate; |
5. "Lauchlan McInnish", in "Knock, Borraig and Castil" estate; |
6. "Katherine McDonald relic of Angus McKinish", [“relic”, widow], |
7. and "Malcolm McInish", both in "Tarskvagmore" estate. |
