My kin came from the Trotternish of Skye (Uig and Staffin) to Skye Glen on Cape Breton Island in the mid 1800s.

AH yes, the good old Clearances

I was fortunate that most of mine didn't fall victim to it, which is why Gigha's still got plenty MacNeill's on it today. Except me now.

from the Scottish Borders.

I have only been on Gigha once - when I did some work for the school there.

I was at Glasgow University with a Lachlan MacNeill who used to spend all his summer holidays on Gigha, I believe he had family there.

Welcome, from Texas!

I recently discovered a McNeill in my family tree (great3 grandmother) and am currently trying to trace them farther back (at the moment, I can only go back to her father in the Cape Fear area of North Carolina).

Enjoy the board, it's a wonderful and friendly place! Best wishes
