Dominus de eodem, made several incursions into England, alwaysfightinginawhite jacket or doublet, and was a great terror to theEnglish,whoappliedto him some epithet indicative of his dress, though itdoesnotseem quiteclear what that nickname was; neither does it appearwhatsortof thing itwas which is called a 'white jacket ordoublet'.'TheHighlanders' used agarment called Leinn-croich,orsaffron-colouredshirt, the robe whichdistinguished agentleman.'(Logan's Clans.Introduction). It is notimpossible that thisanecdote hasbeen moved toohigh up in the familyhistory, and is, afterall, only thatwhich isrelated of David, DescentXVII.
