We went to Skye last year on a family holiday – an amazing island, beautiful scenery, so many great people. Towards the end of our trip we visited Dunvegan Castle, ancestral home of the mighty Clan MacLeod. It featured much about the history of the family and its famous sons and daughters, although I noticed that it failed to mention perhaps the most influential and important MacLeod of all time – Donald J. Trump.
Take him to our top golf clubs, make him a member of the Order of the Thistle, and have the head of the Clan MacLeod give him the honour with all the pomp we can muster
Trump’s mother Mary Anne MacLeod Trump was born on the Isle of Lewis, and while the vast majority of American presidents have some British ancestry, Trump is the first to have a British parent since Woodrow Wilson, whose mother came from Carlisle. He is also sentimental about our country in a way that other states would take huge advantage of, but which Britain’s rulers are intent on failing to do.
