John MacLeod of MacLeod John MacLeod of MacLeod, born as John Wolrige-Gordon, (10 August 1935 – 12 February 2007) was the 29th chief of Clan MacLeod. Faced with the need for expensive repairs to the clan's seat at Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye, his proposed methods to raise funds caused considerable controversy.

Ballymote Castle Ballymote Castle (Irish: "Caisleán Bhaile an Mhóta") is a large rectangular keepless castle, built around 1300. It is located in the townland of Carrownanty on the outskirts of Ballymote in southern County Sligo, Ireland. This area was known historically as "Átha Cliath an Chorainn", which roughly translates as "The Ford of the Hurdles of Corran". It is the last of the Norman castles in Connacht. It was probably built in order to protect the newly won possessions of Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster (also known as the "Red Earl"), in County Sligo, some distance from an earlier motte.
