Summary: Somerled, the founder of the Lordship of the Isles...or was he? In this episode, I discuss some of the things I have found through reading "Kinship, Church and Culture". Where did the Lordship of the Isles have its beginning? This is a huge topic for those of you with MacDonald, MacDougall or MacRory ancestry. I also discuss the connection between the MacRorys and the MacDonnells of Clan Ranald.
