Summary
The MacDonalds of Laig and how the people left Grulin.
Dr MacAskill's sister married MacDonald of Laig, who was related to Alasdair mac Mhaighstir Alasdair. They were in Eigg for a long time. Raghnall Giobach was the first to come to Eigg from Arisaig. There was Aonghas, Ailean and Aonghas Òg. Aonghas Òg is thought to have gone to North America in 1853 when the people left Grulin. Some of the Grulin folk went to Cleadale, and the rest emigrated to North America. The contributor doesn't know if the people were evicted from Grulin.
