Scottish Tales by Scot Angeulaiche, Duart Castle’s Seanchaidh Storyteller.
Alasdair – The Irish Exile Years – When the Irish tenants rise up against the land owners in the Christmas of 1641, Scottish exile Alasdair MacColla MacDhòmhnail sees in the unrest an opportunity to gain influence and power over his family’s gaoler, the most powerful man in Scotland, the Earl of Argyll. As the conflict becomes civil war his name begins to be spoken in high places. He is dubbed the Holer of Houses by his detractors and the last defender of a dying way of life by his supporters; to his enemies and friends alike he seems to have supernatural protection.
