The Sinclairs were originally from Caithness. Donald Sinclair belongs to the Barra branch of the Sinclairs. He gives his sloinneadh [patronymic] in Gaelic. The first Sinclair to come from Barra to Tiree was a rebel and fugitive from the law. His wife, also from Barra, was Annie MacNeil. Donald Sinclair gives his genealogy on the Sinclair side. He would like to visit Barra and find out about his relatives there. His Uncle Neil used to go to the east coast herring fishing with Barra men.
