News Clan Macpherson and Clan Chattan

[ThistleDown]

It with sadness that I inform those of you who are of Clan Macpherson and Clan Chattan that Sir William of Cluny died this morning. The 27th chief of the Macphersons was born in 1926. He died peacefully at home at Newton Castle, surrounded by his family. Sir William was a well respected retired High Court judge and beloved chief, devoted to his clan in the 20th and 21st centuries. He was also an hereditary Vice President of the Clan Chattan Association. In both roles he will be succeeded by his second son, James Brodie Macpherson of Cluny and Blairgowrie.
