The Last of the Clan McDuck is a comic story written and drawn by Don Rosa. It features Scrooge McDuck, Fergus McDuck, Matilda McDuck, Hortense McDuck, Edith O'Drake, Jake McDuck, Burt the Ditchdigger, Sir Quackly McDuck and, in flashbacks, Seafoam McDuck, Swindle McSue and Sir Eider McDuck.
Plot
Glasgow, Scotland. Wee Scrooge McDuck just turned 10 and is deemed able to work by his kind but very poor father Fergus McDuck; he subsequently wins his first coin ever as a shoeshiner. However, the coin in question is an american dime he can't possibly hope to spend in Scotland; as he has technically been swindled, it teaches him to be cautious when it comes to business. He later visits the abandoned castle that once housed the Clan McDuck during its hours of glory, and meets a peculiar keeper (actually Sir Quackly McDuck's ghost) who helps him fight off the Whiskervilles while also inspiring him to go to America to get rich again like his ancestors.
