| Notes |
- In 1677 Donald sat on an assise at Inverary, Scotland.
This Donald is the subject of a tale involving the young 10th Earl's escape during the Atholl raids of 1685. Apparently the young laird had gone into hiding after his father's capture at Inchinnan and had chosen a cave near the white rock of Stuckagoy. Donald and his sons had kept the Earl supplied with food until one day the Atholmen, armed to the teeth and with information of Argyll's whereabouts, approached Stuckagoy. Monro successfully got the Earl away over the hill passes thereby eluding his would-be captors. For this the family earned the undying gratitude of the Campbells and the undisputed right to Stuckagoy.
