History:
It's known that the clan McDuck lived at Dismal Downs for a very, very long time. But in 1675 "the hound" started to terrorise the area and the clan found it best to flee it's home. The ownership to the estate however was remained on the clan's hands. You can read more about the history of Dismal Downs and The Clan McDuck here.
