Biography
- 117. Gilla Espuig: eldest son of Sir James.[1]
- ACCORDING to some genealogists, Gilla Espuig, who (see p. 530, ante) is No. 117 on the "MacDonnell" (No. 1) pedigree, was son, not of Sir James of Dunluce, but of Colla, the elder brother of Sorley Buidhe, who is No. 115 on that page. That Colla, who mar. a MacQuillan, was known as Coll-dhu-na-Gappal (or "dark-featured Colla, of the Horses"), and died in May, 1558.
