Experts uncover 17th-century coins at site linked with clan chief Alasdair Ruadh ‘Maclain’ MacDonald

The 17th-century collection of 36 coins included international currency, and was hidden beneath the remains of a grand stone fireplace at a site believed to have been a hunting lodge or feasting hall.
