It may have been sold to John MacDonald of Glenaladale in 1771, but Maitland was still listed as the proprietor after 1775. John MacDonald brought 210 Catholic Scottish Highlander settlers, 100 from Uist and 110 from mainland Scotland, to the "Tracadie Estate," which was composed of Lots 35 and 36. Lot 35 was sold for arrears in 1781 before being restored in 1791. It was sold in 1792 to John MacDonald of Glenaladale. It was one of the principal areas of Scottish settlement on the island by the census of April 1798. The Tenant League, formed in 1863, was active in Lot 35.
