A transcript of National Museum of Scotland MCR 39, pages 33-311, made by the Reverend Donald Mackintosh during 1803-1806 in his capacity of ‘Keeper of the Records and Translator of the Gaelic Languages’ to the Highland Society of Scotland, perhaps for the use of Sir John MacGregor Murray of Lanrick, who was chief of the Clan MacGregor and a prominent number of the Society. Its pasteboard cover is inscribed ‘Extract of Red Book of Clanranald in the Original Gaelic (See page 97, Padraig Caoch Mac Ghrigoir) MacGregors mentioned pages 60, 87, 97’. The text is headed ‘Copy of the small volume, (erronesly called) The Leabhar Dearg of Clanranald. Beginning at the 33d page, the rest are gone’. It concludes (page 194) with the remark ‘The rest of the M.S. is torn away from the end’. Following this (page 195) is a general note on the MacMhuirichs, ending thus: ‘Few of their works were written in this Book which seems to have been the last volume or memorandum book kept by the family, the old volumes being all written upon parchment, as all writes before printing came in use were. Edinr. 3d Octr. 1806. Donald Mackintosh F.S.S. Antiquaries, Highland Society, & Philos[ophical Society of Newcastle]”. (Corner of leaf torn off).
