54840: Donald Macaulay

Donald, according to his son Donald’s deposition (Boundary dispute), was a son of Dugald Macaulay of Brenish. We do not know why a Macaulay from Lewis should become a gamekeeper in Harris – maybe it was a case of poacher turned gamekeeper – but his son Donald succeeded him as sub-forester.
