Summary
The MacArthurs who fought in one of the Islay battles.
The contributor recites an old saying regarding Clann Artair Fròthaig, who fought for the MacDonalds at Blàr Allt a' Mhonaidh. It is alleged that seven thousand Islay-men fought in the battle. The contributor heard these stories from an old man from Campeltown - a MacIntyre who came to Islay - and also from his father.
