Summary
The contributor's great-grandfather was given a croft by Dr MacAskill.
Dr MacAskill was Clanranald's factor in 1810 when Cleadale was divided into crofts. Niall MacQuarrie, the contributor's great-grandfather, married Mairearad nighean Choinnich, a friend of the doctor. He was given his pick of the crofts, which his descendants occupy to this day [1964].
