ISO old photograghs: Alec MacMillan and G.S. McLennan
I hope this is the correct place to post this request.
I am in search of a couple of photographs. The first is of Alec MacMillan, Colonsay, who won the Silver Star around 1900 and contributed to Thomason's CEOL MOR. I have never found a photograph of him. He taught my teacher, Colin MacRae, and even Colin didn't have a photograph. I suspect there isn't one, because some Highlanders in those days didn't want their photograph taken.
The other photograph I have seen somewhere but haven't been able to track it down in a book or on the web. It's a photograph of G.S. McLennan standing with his uncle. IIRC his uncle was John Stewart of the famous traveling family, the Stewarts of Blairgowrie. John is wearing the uniform of a Black Watch piper that is too large for him.
If you can help me track these down I would very much appreciate it.
thanks
