Donald MacKinnon, a miller in Balevullin, was one of twelve men arrested in 1886 after a period of land agitation on the island. Four of the ringleaders, including Donald and the Land League Chairman, were released without charge.
However, Donald’s prospects on the island were blighted and he decided to emigrate. He was presented with a travelling desk with an inscription which read: ‘Presented to Donald MacKinnon Balevullin by friends of Tiree on his leaving for New Zealand in recognition of his services in advocating their rights to the people and as a token of their respect and regards 16th March 1888.’
Donald eventually settled in Western Australia where he worked on the railway and raised a family. His grand-daughter, Margaret Padbury of Kojonup, described him as ‘a man of the highest principles, who lived by the word of God and brought up his family the same way.’
