Fearann Dòmhnuill

This granite stone called Ferann Dòmhnuill comes from Glen Glass in the heart of Munro Country. It was brought down by the glaciers of the last Ice Age. Geologists call it a "Glacial Erratic". It commemorates Donald O'Caan, Prince of Fermanagh, first chief of Clan Munro. He and his followers are said to come from the River Ro in Northern Ireland to help King Malcolm II of Scotland (1005-34) drive out Viking Invaders. The King granted Donald all the land between Dingwall and the River Alness in return for his services. To this day the land is known as Ferindonald (Fearann Dòmhnuill in Gaelic) or Donald's land. A millennium later it is still home to many Munros and spiritual home to all of those of Munro descent across the world.
