Summary:  "Tells the story of the 214 Scottish Catholic Highlanders who left their homes in the Western Highlands and Islands of Scotland on the brigantine Alexander, arriving in St John's Island, as Prince Edward Island was then called, to establish the first large settlement of Catholic Scots in Canada. Their leader John MacDonald, 8th Laird of Glenaladale and 7th Laird of Glenfinnan, hoped to create a feudal estate on his 40,000 acres (all of Lot 36 & later 35) on the Island. Descendants of these people form a significant part of Prince Edward Island's diaspora around the world. Capt John MacDonald is now recognized as a person of historic significance to Canada, as is his grandson Sir Wm. C. Macdonald"--Provided by publisher.
