94863: Donald Macmillan
Donald (1852-1930) was the son of John Macmillan and Rachael Carmichael; it is not clear where the family were living at the time of his birth. His paternal grandparents lived at 2 Glen Tolsta and his maternal grandparents at 3 Glen Tolsta so both are possibilities.
In 1856 the family obtained 4 Glen Tolsta.
Donald married Mary Matheson, of 13 Aird Tong, and the couple settled at 4 Glen Tolsta and had their first two children.
In 1884 the family obtained 3 Glen Tolsta and merged the crofts into 3/4 Glen Tolsta. The couple had their daughter, Bess, that year. The couple went on to have a further five children there; in total they had eight children: five boys and three girls.
In due course 3/4 Glen Tolsta passed to their son, Angus.
