Restoration of a family photo of three Cameron sisters in Canada. This a rather mixed result of a simple AI recolouration.
Their Great Grandfather was Angus Cameron 6th of Kinlochleven who married Marjory MacBean, the eldest daughter of Capt Donald MacBean 15th Chief of MacBean/ Bain. Donald fought at Culloden, where his father Gillies 14th MacBean was famously killed.
Family tradition has it that Donald when caring for his father’s body, was offered a commission by Cumberland in recognition of his father’s huge courage and fighting prowess. This seems very unusual but not entirely unknown.
Capt Donald served largely in Canada, before retiring to Tearie near Nairn, Scotland. His wife Anne, a daughter of James Mackintosh of Woodend and Kyllachy, died very shortly after the birth of her second daughter who went on to marry Coll Macdonald 7th of Dalness/ Glen Etive.
The girls were brought up by Anne’s sister Elizabeth Macintosh married to James Campbell the factor to the Lethen Estates of the Brodie. He occupied the large farm at Fornightly.
Angus Cameron was related by his mother Una Macdonald to Cameron of Lochiel, Maj Gen Alex Macdonald of Invercoe, Col Ronald Macdonald, both the Macdonald men serving in Canada.
Both the Camerons of Kinlochleven and Ewan Cameron 17th of Lochiel were related to the precursor tribe of Macgillonies of Strone and Erracht and Invermaillie that gave structure and being to the MacBeans, who became close kin to the Mackintosh of Mackintosh over many generations.
Una Macdonald's grandfather was MacIan, killed in the Glencoe Massacre. Her mother was a Campbell of Balcardine.
These children don’t know, cant possibly know, just how well connected they are into some of the most important roots of Scottish Clan history.
