Information

Sir Ewin Cameron (1629-1718 was one of the most remarkable highlanders of all time. He was a staunch supporter of the Stewart Kings. On one occasion the governer of Inverlochy sent a force of soldiers to lay waaste Locheiel's estate, cut down the trees and drive off his cattle. Lochiel collected a party of his own men who fought and repelled the invaders with heavy loss. In the course of the battle Lochiel had a hand to hand struggle with an English officeer which was terminated by Lochiel fixing his teeth in the throat of his adversary and bringing away a mouthful, later described by him as the sweetest bite he had ever tasted.

The setting of Angus MacKay is full of defects. The PS amendment was shown to and approved by Alexander Cameron in 1911. It is recorded by Simon Fraser, Australia, in similar form, but containing a suibhal in dithis form which can be put in from the torluath.
