The Clan MacDonald of Glencoe,[REF] Clan MacDonald of Clanranald,[REF] and Clan MacDonell of Glengarry,[REF] fought as Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden in April 1746, as did the Clan MacDonald of Keppoch whose chief, Alexander MacDonald of Keppoch, was killed [REF].
The Clan MacDonald of Sleat branch had fought for the Jacobites in the 1715 rebellion, however they actually formed two battalions (Independent Highland Companies) in support of the British Government during the 1745 rebellion and as a result the Sleat possessions remained intact [REF].
