A fisherman from the Isle of Lewis, Southampton and the Manitoulin, Dan raised his family in Ontario and missed his home in Scotland.


From the lone shieling of the misty island

Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas

Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland

And we, in dreams, behold the Hebrides.



Red Dan's youngest brother Norman MacDonald stayed on the croft at #5 Breaclete, Bernera: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/159663915/norman-macdonald
