Old Photograph Keppoch House Scotland
Old photograph of Keppoch House in the Highlands of Scotland. Keppoch House was built between 1760 and 1765 by Ranald Macdonell, 17th Chief of Keppoch, to replace the earlier house destroyed after the 1745 Rebellion. The Macdonalds, or Macdonells of Keppoch were not cadets of Glengarry but an independent clan, caught up like most of their neighbours in an endless round of land disputes and inter clan feuds, of which the Keppoch Murders of 1663 were a particularly gruesome example. The 18th century found them constantly engaged in land feuds with the Mackintoshes, who eventually managed to hold this territory from after 1745 until 1945, prompting most of the Keppoch clan to emigrate.
