Donald Gallach may or may not have been a legitimate son of Hugh of Sleat. There does not appear to be any record of Hugh marrying his mother, who was the daughter of a man named Gunn who was either a Crowner or Shefiff of Caithness (Reliquiae celticae says her father was the Coroner of Caithness and Scottish Clans and Their Tartans says she was Elizabeth Gunn, daughter of the Coroner of Caithness).
When Donald Gallach's brother resigned all of his possessions in 1505 to the king, it left Donald and his other brother without legal title to their father's lands. Archibald Mackenzie says this forced Donald and his brothers to become rebels. Donald Gallach and another of his brothers were murdered by their brother Archibald, in 1506.
The following items are what I was able to find concerning the MacDonald lands of Sleat
By a charter under the Great Seal, in August 1498, the office of Bailliary, with two unciates of the lands of Trouterness, was confirmed to Alexander Macleod of Dunvegan,having been formerly held by the Lord of the Isles, and being then in the hands of the crown, being forfeited.
Two months later another charter under the Great Seal, granted eight merks of land to Torquil Macleod of the Lewis. Both of these grants were rendered null by the great revocation in 1498 or 1499.
In 1505, the eighty merk lands of Trouterness were let, by the commissioners of the Crown for three years to Ranald Bane Allanson of Moydert, the Earl of Huntly being surety for the payment of rent by the later.
In 1510, Archibald Dubh, Archibald Dubh, was acting as Bailie of Trouterness and a letter in his favor was directed under the Privy Seal to the tenants of Trouterness.
Ronald Bane of Moydert was executed at Perth in 1513. and Archibald Dubh was killed by his nephews for killing his brothers.
Macleod of Dunvegan, who seems to have been the principle Crown tenant of Trouterness some time before 1517, had a lease continue from that year until the majority of James V. Under the government of the Earl of Angus, Dunvegan appears to have obtained also an heritable grant of the lands of Sleat and North Uist, causing him to become the enemy of the Sleat MacDonalds, under Donald Grumach.
Donald Grumach and his brother by his mothers second husband (History of Skye says her name was Agnes), John MacTorquil Macleod who also had no legal inheritance expelled Dunvegan and his clan from Trouterness. By this method they succeeded in preventing him putting in force his new charter to Sleat and North Uist. Trouterness was again occupied by Clanhuistein, or MacDonald of Sleat. Donald Grumach then aided his step father Torquil Macleod in seizing the whole barony of Lewis, which he held during his life.
Origines parochiales Scotiae says
that these lands were possessed by Donald Gallach and his son Donald Grumach, even though that had been given by James IV to Ranald Alansoun of Yland-Bagrim. The following is an account of how that came to be from the Celtic Monthly:
"
Donald Gallach MacDonald, third of Sleat. The strict legitimacy of this chief has always been considered doubtful; and we can find no record of any formal marriage by his father to the daughter of Gun, Crowner of Caithness. Even the family historian, Hugh MacDonald, who on all occasions showed such an inclination to bastardise the descendants of all the other branches of the MacDonalds to glorify his own chief, does not assert that there was a formal marriage, and such was hardly possible in the circumstances which he describes. Indeed his MS., already quoted, is strong presumptive evidence the other way. The fact that his brother John made over all his possessions to the Clanranald Allansons past his own half-brother, has been held by some as an element which goes to strengthen the same assumption. In any case Donald appears to have had neither possessions nor influence, whatever may have been the reason. Gregory says on this point:---John, the eldest son of Hugh, having no issue himself, and having probably quarreled with his brothers, made over all his estates to the Clanranald; as well as those which had remained in his own hands. The rest of the Clanhuistein, on John's death were thus left without legal rights to any landed property in the Isles; and being, moreover, viewed with jealousy by the Government, owing to their propinquity to the last Lord of the Isles, they were in a manner forced to become rebels. Donald Gallach, their leader, was, with another of the brothers, murdered by their own bastard brother, Archibald, or Gillespick Dubh, an unprincipled and ambitious man, whose attrocities seem to have been winked at by the Government, on the ground, probably, that his brothers were proclaimed rebels, whom it was desireabel to exterminate. This happened about the year 1506; and Archibald, the fratricide, having endeavored to seize the lands of Sleat, was expelled from the North Isles by Ranald Allanson the heir of Moydart, to whome Sleat had been made over by John Huchonson, the last legal possessor."
In 1531, Donald Grumach MacDonald Gallich of Dunskawich was among several Highland chiefs who were frequently cited by parliament.
In 1542 James V granted the lands of Slait, of the old extent of L20 and extending in the King's rental to 9 Scots marks, in liferent to Alexander MacCloid (of Dunvegan), and in heritage to his son and apparent heir William and his heirs male, with remainder to his second son Donald and his heirs male, to his third son Tormot, to John MacCloid in Myngynnes, to William's heirs male whomsoever, and to the eldest female heirs whomsoever without division.
In 1541 Archibald Ilis, styled Archibald the Clerk (son of Donald Gallach), appears among a number who had remission from James V for various ravages, and in 1545 he appears as Archibald Maconill captain of Clanhustoun and a councillor of Donald Lord of the Isles. (A History of the Scottish Highlands says that Archibald tried to sieze the lands of Sleat but was expelled for the North Isles by Ranald Bane Allanson of Moydart, eldest son of Clanranald).
In 1549 Slait was held by Donald Gormesone the grandson of Donald Gruamach.
In 1533 Queen Mary appointed Archibald Earl of Argyle bailie of the lands of Trouternes and Slait. In the same year that queen granted to her chancellor George Earl of Huntlie the nonentry and other dues of the lands of Slait and all others belonging to the deceased William MacCloid of Dunnevagane.
In 1567 Archibald Earl of Argyle became bound to obtain for Donald MacDonald Gorme (Donald Gormeson) of Slait heritable infeftment in the land of Tronternes, Slait, and the north part of Weist, to be held of Queen Mary, on concition that Donald should pay 1000 marks Scots to the Earl and 500 marks to mary MacClid (the heirss of Dunvegan),and giv his bond of manrent to the Earl.
In 1572 King James VI in lieu of the fulfillment of several promises which he had given with the advice of his successive regents James Earl of Murray and Matthew Earl of Leuenox, to the effect that he would grant to Donald Gormeson of Sky for his good and faithful serveice all the lands in the countries next to him when they should be forfeited by the owners, and also the liberty of presenting to the bishoprick of Ross then vacant, granted to him a yearly pension of 1000 marks Scots out of the fruits of the bishoprick of Aberdeen then also vacant through the forfeiture of Bishop William.
In 1617 Donald Gorme of Slait was served heir to his uncle Donald Gorme of Slait in the lands of Slait, of the old extent of L20, and the new extent of L80 and L6, 13s, 4d, augumentation, and in other lands in the Lordship of the Isles and sheriffdom of Innernes, all held on condition that the castle of Camys (in Slait) should be always open and in readiness for the King, and his lieutenants, chamberlains, and other servitors resorting thither.
The general appearance of these records of Sleat, is that although the MacDonalds didn't outright own Sleat, the held it by whatever means available to them.
Donald Gallach married a daughter of John (Cathanach) MacDonald of Isla and the Glynns and had a son named Donald, another named Archibald the Clerk(Archibald murdered his brothers, but was later killed by his nephews for revenge), and a third named Alexander.
He also had a daughter who married Alexander Keppoch.
The oldest son succeeded him.

Hugh Uisdean MacDonald
Hugh of Sleat, also known as Uisdean, MacDonald was an illegitmate son of Alexander MacDonald, Lord of the Isles and Earl of Ross. Hugh's clan would become known as Clan Uisdean, or Clan Donald North.
Sources vary as to whether his mother was Elizabeth Seton or a daughter of Gillepatrick Roy, son of Rory, son of the Green Abbot of Applecross.
He was probably born in Dingwall Castle, not far from Inverness Scotland, which became the possession of his father Alexander MacDonald when he became Earl of Ross.
Some sources say he died at Paisley Abbey, Paisley, Scottland, and was buried at a place called Sand, on the island of North Uist. This place is called Clachan Shannda. Clachan means, a small village with a church. Shannda means, Sand or Sand Island in Norse. Alexander MacKenzie, wrote that he died in 1498.
Hugh received a charter from his brother John, for the lands of Sleat on the Isle of Skye, which lies off the western coast of Scotland. This happened in about 1449, when his brother was about 15 and Hugh was around 13. Despite the spelling, Sleat is pronounced "slate".
Besides Sleat,Hugh held lands under his brother John, in Uist, Benbecula and Garmoran.
the Orkney Islands with William Macleaod of Dunvegan and Harris and other chieftains in 1460.
Hugh was a powerful warrior and not only maintained his own rights, but ravaged
There are different opinions as to when Hugh became "of Sleat", but he signed a charter of his brother's in 1461 as Hugh of Sleat. Hugh received a royal confirmation of his lands in 1476, and it was reconfirmed on paper in 1495.
Hugh had six or seven other sons by different women, and at least one daughter.
Hugh's first wife was Fynvola Macian, daughter of Alexander Macian of Ardnamurchan,by whom he had a son named John, who was his heir. This John died without issue. John of Sleat, resigned his lands into the hands of James IV in 1505. He supposedly did this because he had no heirs and disliked his brothers. His resignation left his brothers with no legal title to their lands for a while.
Hugh had a son by the daughter of Gunn in Caithness. He was named Donald Gallach, which means of Caithness. History of the Western Highlands and Isles says that they were married.
Donald Gallach, became the heir after the death of his brother.
The History of the MacDonalds and Lords of the Isles says that he had a son named Donald Herrach, by a daughter of Macleod of Harris, who was the progenitor of the MacDonalds of Balranald and others in the Western Isles. Also listed is a son named Gillespic Dubh(Archibald).
The Black Book of Clanranald names the first four sons of Hugh: Eoin mac Huistiuin (John MacUisdean); Domhnall Gallach mac Huisdiuin (Donald MacUisdean); Domnhnall Hearach mc Huisdiuin (Donald Harris); and Giolla Asbuig mc huisdiuin (Archibald McUisdean)
When Hugh's brother John died, Hugh and his descendants, by virtue of being nearest realtive, became rightful representatives of the family. Hugh's great grandson Donald claimed right to the title, Lord of the Isles, but James V refused to restore the title, believing that its suppression was advisable in order to keep peace in the country, being well aware that this Donald's forebears had been very rebellious.
The descendants of Hugh incresed rapidly in the sixteenth century, and were known as Clan Huistein, or children of Hugh and sometimes Clan Donald north. The name of Clan Donald may have begun because the next six chiefs after Hugh's son John were all named Donald, and North being added to distinguish them from the Clan Ian Vor of Isla and Kintyre who were known as Clandonald also. The direct line of the MacDonald clan became extinct in the 16th century and since that time MacDonald of Sleat has been called in Gaelic, MacDhonuill na'n Eileen, or in English, MacDonald of the Isles.
All of Hugh's sons died violent deaths in the contest over his title, Chief of Clan Donald of Sleat. However, his line has carried down through Clan Donald to the present day. Lord Godfrey Macdonald is Chief of all Clan Donald, and Sir Ian Macdonald is Chief of Sleat. Sir Ian is also Premier Baron of Nova Scotia. Both men descend from Hugh.
Donald Gallach's son, Alexander, took the names of Hugh to Ireland, in 1565, to fight for his first cousin, Sorley Boy McDonnell, leader of Clan Donald South. Sorley Boy "and others" were the earliest known people to be noted as being "of the Scotch-Irish race", in a manifesto from Queen Elizabeth I, of 1573. In Ireland, the McQuiston, Hutchinson, and Houston names thrived as early members of the Scotch-Irish race, until immigration began, in earnest, to America.
Castle Uisdean was the last castle built on the Isle of Skye, by one of Hugh's descendants It is located on the Trotternish Peninsula of Skye, whereas Hugh of Sleat ruled from the Sleat Peninsula of Skye, at Dunscaith Castle.
The McQuiston Church, which still stands in Belfast, was once the largest Presbyterian congregation, with over 1600 children in Sunday School. McQuistons currently play major roles in peace efforts in Northern Ireland and the preservation of ancient Irish architecture. A McQuiston in Scotland is also instrumental in the historic preservation of DunDonald Castle.
In America, the legacy and family line of Uisdean is still alive and well.
From Hugh's line came Captain Jack McQuesten, Father of Alaska, Father of the Yukon. Jack was a principal grubstaker for hundreds of Yukon gold miners. He was a friend of the great American author, Jack London; he helped the Smithsonian collect rare samples of animals from Alaska; he was considered the expert on the border between Alaska and the Yukon Territory; and there is some evidence that Yukon Jack whiskey is named for him.
Hugh's descendants also played a substantial role in the American Revolutionary War. James McQuiston was a "spy on the western frontier" of Pennsylvania, for the Colonial Army. His first cousin, Thomas McCuistion, fought at the first battle of the Revolution, at Alamance County, North Carolina, in 1771. Thomas and his family fought at the last big battle of the Revolution, the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, (also in North Carolina) where one quarter of Cornwallis's crack troops were decimated. Cornwallis took over the McCuistion homestead as his headquarters, just before the battle, as indicated in his own tactical log of the campaign.
There is also evidence that President Andrew Jackson may have had connections to Hugh of Sleat's family through his mother's Hutchinson name, and through his likely great grandmother, Jean McCuistion. Jackson also has another Clan Donald name in his lineage, that of Mary McRandall, so it seems without a doubt that he was of Clan Donald in one way or another. His best friend and protege, Sam Houston, was also very likely of Hugh of Sleat's family, as perhaps was Stephen F. Austin, another great Texas hero. Robert McCuistion, son of Thomas, was the first financier of Texas, giving Sam Houston a McCuistion family treasure worth approximately $25,000, in the money of the day, in return for 10,000 acres (40 km²) of Texas, the deed for which still exists.
His Sleat land was in the hands of the McDonalds of Sleat line until 1971, approximately 522 years. The Clan Donald Center on Skye still stands on Sleat land.

Hugh, often called “Austin” and “Augustine,” being a corruption of the Gaelic equivaletn of Hugh, i.e., Huistean or Uistean. He was styled Lord of Sleat, and married, first, Finvola, daughter of MacIan of Ardnamurchan, by whom he had John, his heir, who died withut issue. He married secondly, a lady of the Clan Gunn in Caithness, by whom he had issue, who carried on the succession, and whose descendants are now held, by general concurrence, to represrnt, as heirs male, John, lat Earl of Ross and Lord of the Isles, forfeited in these honors, respectively, in 1475 and 1494. A question has been raised about the legitimacy of Celestine(Hugh's brother) and Hugh, as well as of Hugh's descndants, especially Donald Gallach, from whom is descended the present Lord MacDonald of the Isles. Respecting Hugh, after describing the results of a successful raid under him to Orkney, Hugh MacDonald says, that “Having routed the enemy, Austin (Hugh) and his party began to ravage the country, that being the only reward they had for their pains and fatigue, with whih, having loaded their galleys, they returned home. Austine having halted at Caithness, he got a son by the Crowner of Caithness's daughter, of the name of Gun, which at the time was a very flourishing name there, descended of the Danes. This son was called Donald Gallich, being brought up in that country in his younger years; for the ancient Scots, until this day call the couty of Caithness Gallibh.”
