Summary

Information about Eigg factors.

Dr MacAskill was Clanranald's factor for a time. Raghnall mac Ailein Òig was the first factor and his son took over on his death. The son drowned in the north ford in Uist. Aonghas Lathaig and Dr MacAskill took over after that. Dr MacAskill moved the glebe so that he could have the whole of Kildonan to himself. The glebe doubled in size to become one of the biggest in Scotland.
