    He looks likes he's still ready to take on a division of the enemy! I'm still waiting for my copy of his autobiography. What a guy!

    Can anyone help me to read the article? I see the graphic and the introduction by the editor, but not the article. Feeling stupid today.

    Quite the chap indeed - a fellow Macpherson, staunch supporter of the clan, and a dear friend to many Macphersons. I have had the distinct privilege of knowing Sir Thomas Stewart Macpherson for several years - such the raconteur and a true Highland Gentleman. Thank you for posting this thread (article) Rex - I will be sure to forward it to the entire Clan Macpherson via our worldwide listserv technology, cheers.
