Colkitto!
A Celebration of Clan Donald Colonsay
By Kevin Byren

Colla Coitach (1570 - 1674) lived at a pivotal period and its remembered as a man of heroic stature in the oral and poetic tradition of the West, but the measured work of historians has eroded his stature and that of his might son, Sir Alasdair Mac Donald, Knight of the Field - the man who empowered Montrose. This is a frank celebration of an ancient hero, a truly charismatic figure, a man who lived largely, loved truly and fought valiantly, a man as ready with the "mot juste" as with the broadsword. In July 1647, Cola Ciotach was the last of the accredited Royalist leader to remain in the field, when Dunivaig fell, so did Gaeldom.
