Inverness / Re: Macswans from Duirnish Inverness
« on: Tuesday 20 January 09 11:56 GMT (UK) »
Hi Rose
Probably no connection, but I have recently been researching my great uncle (Murdo McSwan) who was killed in action on 22 July 1915 (I think his 21st birthday), having served with the 5th battalion Cameron Highlanders.
He came from Durinish on the Island of Skye and although it is stated that he enlisted in Glasgow, it is thought that this is unlikely as the battalion was raised in Inverness.
Regards
Jonathan
