     Eneas was born circa 1660 at Scotland.1,2 He was the son of Ranald MacDonell 2nd of Scotus, Chief-Glengarry and Flora MacLeod [of Drynoch].1 He married Catherine MacLeod [of Bernea] circa 1680 at Scotland.2,3,4 Eneas died in November 1752 at Scotland.1
     When his father succeeded to Glengarry, Angus, as eldest son, succeded to Scotus. He is represented as being a retired, quiet man, unfit to lead the Clan, and there is a tradition that Lord MacDonald made choice of Angus's brother, Alasdair Dubh to succeed him with the consent of all parties. Alexander undoubtedly led the Clan in the lifetime of his father, though Angus, not Alexander, was the eldest son.1 His common name was Angus.

     He married Mary MacDonald [of Sleat] at Scotland.1 Donald was born circa 1620 at Scotland.1 He was the son of Donald MacAngus 7th Chief of Glengarry and Margaret MacDonald.1 Donald died before 1682 at Scotland.
     The lands of Scotus consisted originally of 12 1/2 penny lands, being part of the 60 penny lands of Knoydart. Donald M'Angus bestowed these lands of Scotus by feu charter upon his son, Donald Gorm.

"The particular description ran thus: - The four penny and half penny lands of Scotos; ane pennyland of Torroray; one penny and one half penny land of Inverie-beg; one penny land of Shennachie; one penny land of Angrugaig and Teaflich; two penny and one half penny land of Glendulochan, comprehending Penvoit; Penvoir, and the one penny land of Dornach; half penny land of Torbruiach; and half penny land of Corrleatach, all lying in Killichniman of Glenelg. These lands were held in feu of Glengarry for the sum of £3 0s 6d, being apparently the exact one paid by Glengarry for the whole of Knoydart to the Duke of Argyle, over superior.
Donald Gorm raised many of the MacDonalds in aid of Alasdair MacDonald [MacColla], who joined the Marquis of Montrose during the Civil War.1,2,3 His common name was Donald Gorm.
