THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN 2 SCOTTISH CLANS TO GATHER. Will Meet in Duart CaUe-The 25,000 Clanmen and Clans women in United States Sum moned to Scotland First National Gathering of Family Since 1745. Steanton correspondence to Raleigh Newt and Col. Sir Fitzroy Donald Mac Lean, bart, K. C. B., D.L., here ditary head of the Clan Maclean, has sent the "fiery cross" throughout the world, summon ing his clansmen and clanswom en, of whom there are 25,000 in the United States and Canada, to Duart Castle, Isle of Mull, Scotland, August 24, when he will unfurl his banner and other wise fittingly celebrate the tri umph of peace. It will be the first national gathering of any Scottish family since 1745. Writing-from London, where he passes most of his time, to members of the clan in Edmon ton, Sir Fitzroy says in part: I am happy to say the an cient stronghold of the Macleans is now my property. This im portant historical event in giving great satisfaction to all the Mac leans in every part of the world and I am thankful that it has happened in my day." Duart Castle, which has been out of the family for more than 200 years, was built in the thir teenth century, soon after the formation of the clan, about 1250; it was repaired and en larged by Hector Mor, lord of Duart from 1523 to 1568, who was compelled to surrender it in 1169. The present chieftain, who possesses great wealth has al ready entered upon the work of restoration and repair at a large expense. Sir Fitzroy paid more than $500,000 for the castle and the surrounding grounds. History of Macleans. The Macleans took the leading part in the attempt to restore the Scottish family of Stuarts to the throne of Great Britain, Sir John Maclean, twentieth chief of the clan, summoned his fol lowers to the support of the Earl of Dundee, who was at the head of the Scottish forces, and the first engagement in the campaign was by the Macleans at Brock breck. Sir John Maclean also was in command of the right of the army at the battle of Killie crankle, in which the Scottish forces were victorious. Sir John Maclean was again in command of the right flank of the army at the battle of Sheriff muir. Just before the battle started Sir John stepped in front of his clan and in a loud voice exclaimed: "Here stands Mac lean for King James. Charge, gentlemen, charge!" The result was a complete victory for the Scottish forces. In the attempt to place Prince Charles Stuart on the throne, the Highland Scottish families, who adhered to the house of Stuart, lost heavily at the battle of Culloden, April 16, 1746. Charles Maclean, who was in command, and 200 of his clan were killed. It was a decisive victory for the government forces and was the last attempt made by the Highland Scottish famil ies to regain the throne of Great Britain for the Stuarts. Following the battle at Cullo den one branch of the Maclean family migrated to Sweden, an other branch moving to Philadel phia, Pa., going afterward to Wilmington, Del, Col. Allan Maclean, a member of the Dele ware branch, recalling the de feat at Culloden, was one of the first to raise a regiment to op pose the British government His regiment was known as Al lan Maclean's light infantry. Afterward, when the State cf Deleware ratified the federal constitution, Colonel Maclean signed the ratification on behalf of the county of Kent. While Col. -Allan Maclean in Deleware was doing everything within his power to oppose the British forces, another member of the family, Sir Allan Maclean, a general in the British army in charge of a Scottish regiment in eastern Canada, reached the city of Quebec by forced marches lust before Montgomery and Ar nold arrived on the opposite side of the St Lawrence river, with their combined forces to capture Quebec, the key to the conquest of Canada. Maclean held the city for several weeks and final ly, on the last night of 1775, he defeated the invading forces, thus holding Canada for the Brit ish empire. Duart Castle. Duart Castle, where members of the Clan Maclean from all parti of the world will gather late next August, is situated on a promontory forming the north eastern part of the Isle of Mull, which is separated from the mainland by a narrow strait. The castle faces the sea and is built on a perpendicular rock,100 feet in height. It derives its name from the Scottish words, "Dubh." mean ing black, and "aird," a height or promontory. Approached from the sea the rock is dark and for hiddin?. The sailors called ft "Dubh Aird," hence the strong hold built there by the Macleans became generally known as "Dubh Aird Castle." Later the name was combined in one word, "Duart" The seawalls of the castle are fourteen feet, white on the land side the stonework is ten feet in thickness. Duart Castle and the personal estate of the chief of the Mac leans fell into the hands of the victors and in 1845 there were eleven owners. It has been the constant aim of the family the last 100 years to regain posses sion of the structure and sur rounding grounds. One of the chief difficulties was to secure an agreement on price from the various owners. This, however, was accomplished by Sir Fitzroy, w ho is now arranging to restore the buildings and refurnish the grounds. Personal and Other Netes From Clarkton.
