Several of the family held office in the medieval church before Donald Maclean possessed the rich lands of Inverness Castle at Dochgarroch. In 1609 his son, Alexander Maclean of Dochgarroch signed the Clan Chattan Bond on behalf of the Clan Tearlach and though thereafter family allegiance was largely with the Clan Chattan, they also kept associations with their kinsmen in the West. http://www.lighthousewoods.com/genealogy/carlos/carlos_maclean.html

"He met his death in 1635 at the hands of the MacDonalds of Sleat, who attacked him while he was collecting his rents."
