The third cadet of the family of Coll is descended from Neil MacLean of
Drimnacross, third son of Lachlan, sixth laird of Coll. Neil accompanied Sir
Lachlan MacLean during the civil wars, and, under Sir Hector Roy MacLean,
was severely wounded at Inverkeithing. He married Florence, daughter of
Allan MacDonald of Morrer, and had issue : Hector, Allan, Marian, Ann,
, Florence, Margaret, and Janet. The elder son. Hector MacLean of
Torrestan, was a captain in Sir John MacLean's regiment at Killiecrankie,
and was killed at Dunkeld. He married Florence, daughter of Lachlan Mac-
Lean of Calgary, and by her had one son, Lachlan, who succeeded him in the
lands of Torrestan. Lachlan served for some time in the war in Flanders
under general Murray, but being unjustly treated on the subject of promotion,

Rev. Alexander MacDonald, minister of the Small Isles, by whom he had sev-
eral sons, all of whom died young. He also had several daughters, who were
married.

Borreray, and had issue : Lachlan, John, Neil, Allan, Florence, who married
