Lachlan Og, Eighth Chief Of MacLean.

Lachlan Og, or Young Lachlan, so called in order to distinguish him
from his father, was lord of Duard and Chief Of MacLean during that
eve when great political changes were about to take place in the
Western Isles. The western chiefs had thought themselves practically
independent of the king, and were obedient only to the Lord Of The
Isles, who ruled in princely style. In 1448, John MacDonald became
Fourth Lord Of The Isles, and soon evinced himself as one of the
strongest opponents of the king's party. In 1462, he entered into a
compact with the banished house of Douglas and the commissioners of
England, in which it was stipulated that John, with his vassals and
such auxiliaries as would be furnished by Edward IV., and the
assistance that might be given by the Douglases, should enter upon the
conquest of Scotland; that John, Donald Balloch, and John, the sons
and heirs of MacDonald, upon the payment of a stipulated sum of money
(John, Å200 sterling annually in time of war, and one hundred marks in
time of peace; to Donald Balloch, Å40, and to John, his son, Å20, in
time of war, and in times of peace half these sums respectively),
should become forever the sworn vassals of England, and assist in the
wars in Ireland and elsewhere. In the event of the conquest of
Scotland, then that kingdom should be equally divided between John,
Donald Balloch, and the Earl of Douglas. While these negotiations
were still pending, he Lord Of The Isles assembled a large force,
captured the castle of Inverness, and commenced to assert authority
over Inverness, Nairn, Ross, and Caithness. How this extraordinary
rebellion was suppressed is uncertain. He was summoned before
parliament for treason; and that on failing to appear, the process of
forfeiture against him was suspended for a time, and he was allowed to
retain undisturbed possession of his estates for about fifteen years.
The treaty of 1462 did not come to light until 1475, when the Scottish
government determined to proceed against John as an avowed traitor and
rebel. Commission was given to Colin Campbell, first Earl of Argyle,
to prosecute a decree of forfeiture against him; and on the appointed
day, failing to appear, sentence was passed upon him. So great were
the preparations now made against him, that MacDonald sued for pardon,
and with much humility surrendered to the king's mercy. He was
pardoned and restored to his forfeited estates on July 1, 1476. Soon
after, the earldom of Ross and the lands of Kintyre and Knapdale
became inalienably annexed to the crown. This caused great
dissatisfaction on the part of Angus, the bastard son of MacDonald, a
man who was early accustomed to rebellion. The division of the lands
also divided the vassals of the Lordship of the Isles, the MacLeans,
MacLeods, and MacNeils adhering to John, while the various branches of
the Clan MacDonald made common cause with the turbulent heir of the
lordship.

Lachlan Og was called upon to pilot the clan during these troublous
times, being beset both within and without. The seanachaids have
recorded but very little of his life; but they declare him "to have
been a good and pious man." Enough is recorded to show that he was
possessed of rare judgment, and maintained a peaceful demeanor. He
lived and died one of the most peaceful of his race.

He was married to Catherine, daughter of Colin Campbell, first Earl of
Argyle. His father-in-law and his accomplices were successful in
involving the Lord Of The Isles in difficulties, and although he did
not scruple to misrepresent his son-in-law and brand him as a recreant
chief, yet Lachlan's judgment and skill warded off every blow Argyle
attempted to inflict.

Unfortunately, the records do not show when he became chief and when
he died. He was living in 1478, for in that year, at Edinburgh, on
December 22d, he was witness to a charter confirmed by the king to
David, Earl of Crawford.(*) He probably died soon after. By his
wife, Catherine Campbell, he had Hector, his heir and successor;
Fionnaghal, who was married to Celestine MacDonald, lord of Lochalsh
and Lochcarron; and Anne, who was married to Sir Robert Munro of
Fowlis. The marriage of Fionnaghal must have taken place in 1462, for
in that year (at the castle at Dingwall, February 2d), John of the
Isles grants to his brother "Celestine De insulis of the lands of
Lochalsh, etc., to hold to the said Celestine and the heirs to be
gotten between him and Finvola, daughter of Lachlan McGilleone of
Dowart."

The records show that Lachlan McGilleain was witness to a "charter
granted by Alexander, Lord Of The Isles, to his esquire, Gilleownan of
Roderic of Murchard, Makneill, of the island of Barra, etc., and
failing the said Gilleownan, then to the surviving brother of him
gotten between the said Roderic Makneill and the daughter of Ferchard
Makgilleoin. Dated at the Isle of St Finlagan in Isla, on the vigil
of St John the Baptist, 1472."

Rolland Makclane of Dowart and Hector McClane of Carnlochboy are
witnesses to a charter "granted by John Lord Of The Isles to John
Davidson, of the lands of Grenare in Carrick. Dated at Isla 20th
August 1746."?? This same charter appears to have been duplicated in
1478, with "Rolland Maklane of Dowart" again as a witness.
[A History of the Clan Maclean pp48-50]

(Finvola has been attached to her brother in this case. The Lachlan
that was her father is one generation previous to this.
Chronologically it would have been impossible for her to be daughter
of Catherine Campbell)

Biography[edit]

He was the son of Lachlan Bronneach Maclean. Lachlan Og was called Lachlan the Younger to distinguish him from his father. He was Lord of Duard and Chief of Clan MacLean when political changes were taking place in the Western Isles. The western chiefs had thought themselves independent of the king, and were obedient only to the Lord of the Isles, who ruled in princely style. In 1448, John of Islay, Earl of Ross became one of the strongest opponents of the king's party. In 1462, he entered into a compact with the banished House of Douglas and the commissioners of England, in which it was stipulated that John, with his vassals and such auxiliaries as would be furnished by Edward IV of England, and the assistance that might be given by the Douglases, should enter upon the conquest of Scotland; that John, Donald Balloch, and John, the sons and heirs of MacDonald, upon the payment of a stipulated sum of money (John, £200 sterling annually in time of war, and one hundred marks in time of peace; to Donald Balloch, £40, and to John, his son, £20, in time of war, and in times of peace half these sums respectively), should become forever the sworn vassals of England, and assist in the wars in Ireland and elsewhere. In the event of the conquest of Scotland, then that kingdom should be equally divided between John, Donald Balloch, and the Earl of Douglas. While these negotiations were still pending, the Lord of the Isles assembled a large force, captured the castle of Inverness, and commenced to assert authority over Inverness, Nairn, Ross, and Caithness. How this extraordinary rebellion was suppressed is uncertain. He was summoned before parliament for treason; and that on failing to appear, the process of forfeiture against him was suspended for a time, and he was allowed to retain undisturbed possession of his estates for about fifteen years. The treaty of 1462 did not come to light until 1475, when the Scottish government determined to proceed against John as an avowed traitor and rebel.

Marriage and children[edit]

He was married to Catherine, daughter of Colin Campbell, 1st Earl of Argyll. His father-in-law and his accomplices were successful in involving the Lord of the Isles in difficulties, and although he did not scruple to misrepresent his son-in-law and brand him as a recreant chief, yet Lachlan's judgment and skill warded off every blow Argyle attempted to inflict.[1]
Eachann Odhar Maclean, who succeeded him as clan chief
Fionnaghal Maclean, who was married to Celestine, daughter of MacDonald, Laird of Lochalsh and Lochearron, the marriage of Fionnaghal must have taken place in 1462, for in that year at the Dingwall Castle, February 2, John of the Isles grants to his brother "Celestine de insulis of the lands of Lochalsh, etc., to hold to the said Celestine and the heirs to he gotten between him and Finvola, daughter of Lachlan Mcilleon of Dowart."
Anne, who was married to William Munro, 12th Baron of Foulis
