Families covered: Macdonald of Achnancoichean, Macdonald of Garth, Macdonald of Kenknock, Macdonald or Macdonell of Keppoch, Macdonald of Tirnadris

The acknowledged family name appears to have varied between Macdonell and Macdonald over the centuries before settling as Macdonald (or MacDonald). Somewhat arbitrarily, we settle on Macdonald from the 17th century.
