On the Scottish island of Islay lies Loch Finlaggan, a place of great importance in Scottish history. The heads of Clan Donald chose Finlaggan Castle as their home and the center of their rule, so Islay is often referred to as the cradle of Clan Donald. The Lords of the Isles ruled the islands and part of the west coast of Scotland virtually independently of royal control during the 13th to 15th centuries until 1493, when the Lordship of the Isles fell to James IV of Scotland.
