one of the Western Islands of Scotland, about 24 Scots miles long, and as much in breadth. It is in general rocky and barren, not producing a sufficient quantity of corn for the inhabitants; but about 1800 head of cattle are annually exported. The island was originally part of the dominions of the Lords of the Isles; but in after-times it became part of the possessions of the ancient and valiant family of Macleans, who still retain one-half. The other is the litigated property of the duke of Argyle, whose ancestor possessed himself of it in 1674, on account of a debt; but after the courts of law had made an adjudication in his favour, he was obliged to support their decree by force of arms.
