Did Someone Say Clan MacDonald? My Uncle Paul McDonald was Probably One of the Most Significant Influences on Me. "DOC" McDonald was a WWII Navy Veteran, Korean War Air Force Veteran, Microbiologist for Monsanto and Hard Core Liberal. I am Clan Dawes.

"Coins found under a fireplace may have been hidden there by a victim of the infamous Massacre of Glencoe, according to archaeologists.
Almost 40 members of Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed in February 1692 after soldiers were ordered to attack them.
A student discovered the money at the site of a house linked to the clan's chief.
Lucy Ankers was on her first dig when she made the find.
The 36 coins were inside a pot which had a small round pebble as a lid and had been placed beneath a hearth stone slab in the fireplace.

The discovery was made in August during an excavation at the site of the ruined house, led by archaeologists from the University of Glasgow.
The property was associated with clan chief Alasdair Ruadh "MacIain" MacDonald of Glencoe.
He was among the estimated 38 people killed in the massacre."...
