III。 JOHN MACKENZIE； third of Torridon。 He fought at Culloden； and is said to have been 〃one of the prettiest men in Scotland。〃
The following is from a letter by his grandson； the late Bishop Mackenzie of Nottingham； dated the 10th of September； 1878； in answer to a request by the author that he should kindly communicate anything he knew about his more immediate ancestors：
He led into action the few Mackenzies who fought in that battle。 He was a nephew of Macdonald of Keppoch； one of the seven men of Moidart； and was personally requested by Lady Seaforth to take up arms for the Prince； and he attached himself； with the personal following who attended him； to his uncle's standard。 The Macdonalds； in Strong resentment for having been placed on the left instead of the right of Charles Edward； refused to charge when ordered by their commander。 Keppoch； uttering the touching exclamation； 〃My God！ that I should live to be deserted by my own children then charged； accompanied by my grandfather and his small following。 He soon fell pierced by balls and then； while my grandfather wept over him； exhorted him to leave the field as the brief action was already over； and the dragoons were already scattering over the field in pursuit。
Some of the Macdonalds placed themselves under their Chief's favourite nephew； as he is called in Scott's account of the battle。 Tradition says that some of them were disposed to run when they saw parties of the dragoons approaching them； but that Torridon； spoke briefly； 〃Keep together men。 If we stand shoulder to shoulder these men will be far more frightened at us than we can be of them。 But remember； if you scatter； they have four legs to each of your two； and you will stand singly but small chance against them。〃 They took his advice； and he led them in fair order off the field。 It is further reported that he was proscribed after the battle； and that his life was saved by Sir Alexander Macdonald of Sleat； ancestor of the present Lord Macdonald； who was one of the Royal Commissioners。 Sir Alexander urged that Torridon was a young and inexperienced man； and not likely to be dangerous to the Government； on account of the distance and comparative smallness of his wild Highland estate however； it is said that he added〃Torridon is a great favourite with the ladies； and if you hang Torridon it is certain that half the ladies of the country will hang themselves。〃 This reasoning is said to have prevailed and it is certain that the estate descended to my eldest brother in right of inheritance； without having been confiscated。
