Archibald Macdonald of Largie

Biographical Summary

"X. Archibald Macdonald of Largie. He was a minor at the time of his father's death, when the affairs of the family were administered by Donald, his uncle, and younger son of Alexander 8th of Larofie. Under the direction of his tutor, he took part in Dundee's Rising in 1689, followed by 200 men from Kintyre. The Tutor of Largie fell at the battle of Killiecrankie, and, according to some authorities, the young chief of Largie himself was slain. This latter statement may very well be true, and it is certain in any case that he died young, nor does his name afterwards appear on record. He was succeeded as head of Largie by his brother."
