Dear Sheden,
Greetings from a warmish autumn day in New Zealand. I'm not sure if you can help, but I though I should give it a try.
Back in September 1931, my grandfather John McPhee, (of Dunedin, NZ) visited Glencoe. Here he met a local historian named McDonald, who told him the legend of my 5x g grand father, Sgt. Duncan McPhee of the 78th Fraser Highlanders, who served under General Wolfe at the battle for Quebec in 1759.
I would like to try and find out if there might be any local history/records that might mention this McDonald historian, or my grandfather's visit, or any McPhees in the area around the late 1700s?
Thanks in advance for your help.
