"On the Western Side of the Ben Virich the first settler was a Barra man by the name of Hugh MacKinnon. He had three sons, Angus, Roderick, and Neil. Angus afterwards removed to Margaree Harbour....Rory and Neil spent their lives at the Ben Virich, but all of their families moved away in quest of fortune elsewhere, with one single exception. Hugh, son of Rory, now does the honors, alone, at Ben Virich...and Hughie is right on to the job" (HOIC, p. 604)
