DONALD RUADH

Lieutenant DONALD RUADH MAC CRIMMON or MAC CRUMMEN' of Borreraig, brother of IAIN DUBH, was born in 1743. Boswell, in his journal of October 5, 1773, refers to the McCrimmon's college having suffered by the departure to America in the previous year of "an admirable piper" and continues with the remark that "MacLeod's present piper, whom we heard every day, is as yet no professor, though he has a good ear and plays very well."

The "present piper" may have been DONALD DONN, or one of his sons.

On October 24, 1778, Donald Ruadh was gazetted Lieutenant in a corps of loyalist Scotsmen in North America, called "The Caledonian Volunteers", under the command of Sir William Schaw Cathcart and afterwards of Colonel Sir Banastre Tarleton. It was with General Clinton's force at the seige of Charleston, and was disbanded after Cornwallis' surrender. From 1783 to 1808, he was on half pay. By 1799, he had returned to Skye, and as in that year, he is known to have played Failte Ruari Mhoir, at Dunvegan Castle, to welcome General Norman McLeod of McLeod on his return from India. In that year, Donald Ruadh was described as a captain and as the hereditary piper. According to Duncan McMaster, Piper to MacLean of Coll, who played frequently with him, at Dunvegan, Donald Ruadh succeeded to the office of hereditary piper to MacLeod. He was commissioned as Leiutenant in the 10 , later the Royal Veteran Battalion, April 6, 1808.

From the Inverness Journal, December 30, 1808, we learn that "The Highland society of London suggested the establishment of a National Academy of Pipe Music, and propose the name of Lt. Mac Crummen as professor….

It is in the power of H.R.H., the commander in chief, to comply with the wishes of the Society by promoting Lt. MacCrummen from half pay to a higher permanent rank in the garrison of Ft. Augustus or Fort William, which to him would have been the equivalent of a salary on being made professor of the establishment. Mr. McCrummen is skilled in the theory and practice of the ancient pipe music, and is now in the vale of years."

Sir Walter Scott, in his diary of 24th August, 1815, appears to refer to two pipers, the hereditary one (Donald Ruadh?) and the one in the daily employment (Donald of Lowerkill?) "Return to the Castle, take our luncheon and go aboard at three. Macleod, accompanying us in proper style with his piper. We take leave of the castle, where we have been so kindly entertained, with the salute of the seven guns. The Chief returns ashore with his piper playing the 'MacLeod's Gathering' heard to the advantage along the calm and placid loch, and dying as it retreated from us…. There is a little poetical tradition in this country, yet there should be a great deal, considering how lately the bards and genealogists existed as a distinct order. MacLeod's hereditary is called MacCrimmon, but the present holder of this office has risen above his profession. He is an old man, a Lieutenant in the army, and a most capital piper, possessing about 200 tunes, most of which will probably die with him, as he declines to have any of his sons instructed in the art. He plays to MacLeod and his Lady, but only in the same room, and maintains his minstrel image by putting on his bonnet as soon as he begins to play. These MacCrimmons formerly kept a college in Skye for teaching the pipe music. MacLeod's present piper is of the name but scarcely as yet a deacon of his craft. He played every day at dinner."

Donald Ruadh was on retired full pay in the 4th Royal Veterans Battalion from 25 February ,1816, until his death . About 1823, he was imprisoned in the Tolbooth of Inverness for 18 months for a debt of 500 "which he had incurred in the public service and which he had every reason to expect his commanding officer to pay." He was released at the age of 82 when his son, Patrick accepted responsibility for the debt, and he died of dropsy at Burton Street, Tavistock Square, London, July 31, 1825.

Sir Walter Scott refers to Donald's sons," and Mr. James MacKinnon was informed by an accurate local seanchaidh" (Oban Times, 1896) that Donald Ruadh had a son Peter, who rose to be a captain in the army. Issue:

1. Captain - PATRICK MAC CRIMMON (MAC CRUMMEN), born in North America in October, 1780. In an application addressed to the Quarter Master General in 1835 he stated that he served as a volunteer in Tarleton's British Legion in North America, and added that infant children of loyalists in America who joined loyalist regiments were borne on the strength of the regiments and received pay. "Had I been seven years old," he continued, "I would have been made at ensign." The corps, which was first raised as Caledonian Volunteers" by Captain Sutherland, was disbanded in 1783, when Patrick was two years old He went to Scotland and in 1797 obtained an ensigncy in the Regiment of the Isles (MacDonald Fencibles) in which he remained until it was disbanded after the Peace of 1802. On 15 May, 1799, he became a burgess of Inverness. Patrick was gazetted an ensign on 21 Jan. 1804, by the Duke of York to the newly-raised Canadian Regiment of Fencibles, which was formed in the Highlands and intended for service in Canada. When the men of the new regiment assembled at Glasgow they found that they had been deceived as to the conditions of service. On arriving at Ayr in a mutinous state they were disbanded. One hundred and twenty were enlisted by MacCrimmon in the new 2nd Bn. of the 79th Foot-the Cameron Highlanders-which was inspected and passed at Stirling on 3 Apr., 1805. Lieut.-Gen. Sir Alan Cameron of Erracht, who raised the 79th, had served with Patrick's father in Tarleton's Legion.

MacCrimmon was promoted to Lieutenant in the Cameron Highlanders on 19 Apr., 1804. On 18 Apr., 1807, when quartered at Languard Fort, his company was ordered to join headquarters at Harwich. On the voyage the vessel sank in a squall, and one captain, 73 non-commissioned officers and men, and several women and children were drowned.

The only survivors were Lieut. MacCrimmon, one ensign, five non-commissioned officers and privates, two drummers, one woman and one child-the last two being rescued by MacCrimmon. He afterwards went on active service with the 1st battalion (the second battalion never left Britain) to Denmark, took part in the bombardment of Copenhagen from 21nd to 7th Sept., 1807, and served in Sweden in the following year.

He also served in the Peninsular War and was present at the retreat from Corunna on 16th Jan., 1809, when he caught typhus.

From 12th Feb. to 16th Aug., 1810, he took part in the defense of Cadiz, was wounded in the left arm, leg and ankle at the action of Sancti Petri, and was invalided home. He was on leave of absence when the battle of Busaco was fought on 28th Sept., 1810, but he recovered sufficiently to rejoin his battalion in Portugal in 1811.

He was wounded at the battle of Fuentes d'Onor, 3rd-Sth May, promoted captain 30th May, 1811, and sent home to the 2nd battalion in Glasgow until his wounds were healed. MacCrimmon returned to the 1st battalion in Portugal in 1812 and was present at the battles of Vittoria, Pyrenees (28th July-2nd Aug. 1813), and Nivelle (lOth, Nov.,1813). He was publicly thanked for good service; embarked for Britain and rejoined the 2nd battalion at Greenock, 6th Dec., 1813.

He went on half~pay 24th Feb., 1815, and retired to the neighbourhood of Colchester, where he had been quartered for some time during the late wars.

He rented a farm from Fredk. Nassau, of St. Osyth Priory, Essex, and "continued to thrive until 1825." His octogenarian father having been imprisoned in the Tolbooth of Inverness, Patrick was obliged to afford his personal guarantee in order to obtain his father's release.

After the death of Donald Ruadh on the 31stof July, 1825, the liability for the debts devolved on Patrick, pressure from his father's creditors and losses in the great agricultural depression of 1825 forced him to sell his half pay commission on 8th Apr.,1826.

He subsequently lived at 18, Holywell Street, London. H.R.H. the Duchess of Kent, mother of Queen Victoria, became interested in his case as that of a deserving and unfortunate old soldier, and she supported his application for appointment as barrack-master at Dublin in 1835 but the post was given to another officer, to whom it had been practically promised for a long time.

In October, 1836, Patrick was appointed barrack-master in Sierra Leone, and he died there 2 Apr., 1837. He was married.

II DONALD MAC CRIMMON, b. 1788, emmigrated to Canada about 1820, walking most of the way from Glenelg to Greenock with his son Roderick, who was then a small, boy.
