A member has passed away

[ThistleDown]

Rathdown and I had some long-winded debates about the Macmillans of Lochaber. Almost all of those discussions were outwith this forum and by e-mail, attachments and personal call. Our disagreements were based on our understandings of history and of the formation of the Clan Chattan and the Clan Cameron, but we respected each other's opinions and knowledge. I am indeed sorry that we can't now have the opportunity to take up where we left off just two years ago.

But I am so very pleased that I had the opportunity to meet him on XMarks, and to begin those many debates with him.

In this sad time of our loss of Rathdown we must keep in mind those who are with us still and have so contributed to our cultural and kilt knowledge: Hamish, Sandy, Jamie, Jock, Peter, Steve, and so many more.

I am so sorry to read of this sad news.

Very sad to hear. Enjoyed his posts; a wonderful way with words. Even in disagreement, a treat. In person,
he was, to me, kind and receptive, though we were clearly very different people in many ways. Prayers.
