Summary

Iain Ruadh MacLean went to live on Eigg after the Battle of Culloden.

Iain Ruadh MacLean was on his way back to Uist with Clanranald when Englishmen chased their boat. They had to go ashore on Eigg and spent the night in Clanranald's Cave. Although Iain Ruadh went back to Uist for a time, he later returned to Eigg where he was given land. There are now no surviving descendants of his on the island.
