Tighearna Domhnall mac Pharlain was born in the feudal barony of Arrochar, in the Scottish
Highlands, in the late 13th century. He grew up on these same ancestral lands, located at the
heads of Loch Long and Loch Lomond, with his clansmen, considered by many to be quite a
turbulent lot. They were so competent at raiding the neighbor's cattle herds at night, that the
full moon was often referred to as "Macfarlane's Lantern". Domhnall proudly displays this
aspect of his history in his Arms.
Like many of his neighbors, Domhnall made a rare trip out of the Highlands to fight along
side Robert the Bruce, in the War for Scottish Independence from the English King Edward
Plantagenet Following a victory at Bannock Burn in 1314, Domhnall, still a young man,
returned briefly to his beloved homeland. It was at this time that he met and married
Beathog nic Dhonnchaidh, a daughter of the Donnachaidh Clan Chief, himself also a Bruce
supporter. Soon after, Domhnall was called into service again, and the couple eventually
accompanied King Robert I to Lochleven Castle, in 1323. A then Scottish stronghold, the
castle had been strategically situated in the middle of Loch Leven by the English, between
the royal burghs of Perth, Stirling and Edinburgh.
They remained in residence on the island for several years and then traveled rather extensively
in later years. Their travels eventually led them to the lands of the Kingdom of Caid, where
they continue to reside among friends. They are both well known within the kingdom for
their bardic and performance arts. They visit their homeland and the lands surrounding Loch
Lomond, whenever possible.
In addition to his musical interests, Domhnall is a skilled archer and woodworker. He enjoys
metalworking, calligraphy and illumination, and period cookery.
