Note: probably collected from Donald MacColl, fox-hunter, Glencreran, Earra Ghàidheal/Argyllshire, about the feu on Glasdruim [Glasdrum, Earra Ghàidheal/Argyllshire] and how the title to it was either kept on the owner's person or hidden under a stone. The feu was lost owing to acting as surety and because the MacColls were stronger than the Stewarts of Appin. Fear Ardnasheile's two servants are noted as being 'a cuif' and the other 'a man who stood up for his clan'. The feu was latterly paid to the Airds. Carmichael-Watson Project, Univ. of Edimburgh
Glasdrum McColls
John McColl from the Acharr Ardsheal estate, was a descendant of the Glasdrum McColls, portioners directly from the Earl of Argyle. John and his family along with a family of Stewarts from the same estate and four McLaurin brothers, sailed to America on “Jupiter of Larne” in 1775. They arrived in North Carolina the McColls establishing themselves at Mountain Creek community on the Pee Dee River. Many of them later moved to Marlboro County, SC, with other Appin and Benderloch McLaurins that they were related to.
