Summary
The MacCrains - a family of strongmen.
The MacCrain family changed their name to MacNeil. Donald MacCrain, a strong man, worked as farm servant in Crackaig. When he took a plough to the smithy, he just threw it over his shoulder. He was about seven feet tall. His brother Al, while working in Glasgow once, caused breach of the peace, and it took eleven policemen to arrest him.
