Did you know that the MacDonalds of Glencoe (or MacIans) were originally Hendersons, a name I'm closely associated with. Clan Donald obtained Chiefship of the clan through marriage.
I bet that was the same public house my brother-in-law worked at when he lived in Scotland. He tells of that same sign. I'll ask him the next time I talk to him.
