The Macdonalds of Sleat descend from
Uisdein or Hugh, younger son of Alexander, Lord of the Isles, who
had died at Dingwall in 1449. Hugh was a man of power and ability,
and sat on his brother’s Council of the Isles. In 1495, after
the Lords of the Isles had been forfeited, Hugh obtained a Crown
charter to the lands he held.
