    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

Prince Fergus was the grandfather- in-law of King Somerled of Argyll and the Isles the patriarch of the MacDougalls of Argyll et al. who were not otherwise intermarried with MacDowalls.

The Galloway name of “Macdougall” was transliterated to “Macdowyl” in July 1292 under Edward I of England and Macdowall has persisted over the eight centuries since with many (about 76) variations.

The index to the first 28 volumes was one large index with no sub-divisions. As a great number of queries were published it was decided to include these in a section of their own from volume 29 onwards. From volume 41 the index was split into the following sections: General index; Article Titles; Contributors; Reviews; Work in Progress; Queries. A separate section for Illustrations was included in the index for volumes 45-52. NUMBERING There has not been uniformity in the numbering format used by the different compilers of the indexes. A volume covers one year during which 4 journals were issued usually in March, June, September and December. In the current index these have been harmonised to follow the most commonly used pattern: Volume number - Roman numerals capitals Journal number - Roman numerals lower case Page number - Arabic numerals Example: XXXIX.iv.116 -Volume 39, December issue, page 116. Page numbering Page numbering in the journals has not been consistent over the years.

MacLeod reetings clansfolk. GThis is an exciting year for the Clan MacLeod in Canada. nniversaries: First, we have memorable an- niversaries being, or already, celebrated by severalA of our local societies. In October, Central Ontario celebrated its 50th Anniversary. Vancouver is doing the same this summer. On November 2, 2005, Glengarry (between Ottawa and Montreal) celebrated their 70th Anniversary. They are the oldest MacLeod society in continuous existence outside of Scotland (there had been one formed in Australia in 1912, but was disbanded during the war. It restarted in 1954.) On July 4, 1936 they had hosted a major gathering at Dunvegan, Ont, for over 1,000 MacLeods (thatʼs right, over 1,000 and before the days of air travel!). That gathering in 1936 was the first organized gath- ering of MacLeods outside of Scotland. This year, on June 10, they are celebrating that significant event. This is also the 30th anniversary of the CMSC Newsletter # 44, Page 2 first North American Gathering, which took place in Cornwall in July 1976 during the Montreal Olympic Games. Both Central Ontario and Glengarry did invite me to their celebra- tions, but due to the lateness of the invitations and other commitments (in the case of Glengarry, my wifeʼs 60th birthday and our 32nd Wedding Anniversary – skipping those would not have been a wise move), I was unable to attend.
