Summary
How Mac 'ic Ailein inherited Lochaber Estate.
Mac 'ic Ailein left Arisaig and went to Badenoch. He entered a house there and found a great old woman inside. She told him to sling his hook. He refused. Her daughter came in and started to fight Mac 'ic Ailein. He won, and spent the night with the daughter. She subsequently had a son. When the son came of age, he went in search of his father. When they met, Mac 'ic Ailein would not believe that this was his son. He only believed him after they tore apart a dead horse between them. This son inherited Lochaber Estate afterwards.
The contributor heard this story from his grand-uncle, James Stewart.
