Does anybody know anything about a James Cameron who may have been Provost of Inverness.
Not sure about dates of birth and death. Maybe born around 1890-1900.
Thanks

The James who was the Town Clerk sounds interesting.

For Inverness, the Am Baile website is always useful.

Hi there
This may be a wee bit too recent for your research, but a James Cameron was for many, many years a well-respected councillor for the Dalneigh area of Inverness. The local Community Centre in Dalneigh is named after him.
I'm not sure when he was born, but I believe he served in World War 2, so would imagine he was born around 1910s-1920s.
Hope this helps!

Hi Abrach
Here's a photo of James Cameron, Town Clerk in 1937 from "Old Inverness in pictures" published by Inverness Field Club.
Best wishes

Thank you to everyone who has replied .
I have been on to Am Baile and found a report of the man I am looking for - he was made Town Clerk of Inverness in 1935 and was a native of Fort William.
From the Scotlands People index it looks as though he may have died in 1970 - probably buried in Tomnahurich??
