The MacIans of Ardnamurchan, who had betrayed the Lordship of the Isles to the government and been rewarded with lands, were finally destroyed by the MacDonalds of Dunnyveg in a series of calculated raids. The chief was killed and the clan effectively ceased to exist as an independent entity. Ardnamurchan was absorbed into the MacDonald sphere. It was one of the most complete eliminations of a clan in Scottish history.
