MacMillan, Donald

(fl. late 19th century), hotelkeeper. Donald MacMillan operated a hotel at Dunvegan from 1865 to 1890 in a log building which, it is believed, once housed a store operated by Angus McIntosh and is now the central building of the Glengarry Pioneer Museum. The two-storey log building and the land around it were donated to the Glengarry Historical Society by Miss Margaret Crane (d. 30 March 1981, aged 67) of Montreal, Donald MacMillan’s descendant. Long ago the hotel was known as the Star Inn (or hotel.) In the Belden Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry atlas of 1879, Donald McMillan, at Dunvegan, is listed as “Farmer and Propr. Star Hotel.”
