He was Jamie Fraser's uncle. Jamie fostered with Dougal and his wife at Beannachd when he was 14. Dougal's oldest daughter Molly was beautiful but mean to Jamie. Her younger sister Tibby was nicer and gave Jamie his first kiss. It was Dougal's idea that Claire and Jamie get married, presumably to keep Claire out of Black Jack's hands, but he had other motives for the union. |
