Dr D.W. Mcgillivray was one of the principal landowners in Barra, at the time he was heard by Lord Napier at Castlebay on 26 May 1883. The 1881 census shows him as a farmer of 3000 pasture and 70 arable, living at Eoligary House. Donald W Mcgillivray is married to Christina and has two sons, William L (29) and Murdock N (28). There are 18 other people in Eoligary House at the time of the 1881 census. We can trace him back to the censuses of 1871 and 1851; at the earliest census, he is not yet married.
