Notes 2 |
"Sir Allan Maclean was a captain in the Montgomery Highlanders. He was married to Una daughter of Hector, 11th Maclean of Coll. He resided during the latter part of his life on the island of Inch-Kenneth in Mull. He was visited there by Doctor Johnson, who speaks very highly of him. He died in 1783. Neil Lamont, the author of the following poem, was a native of Tiree. One of his daughters married a Mac-Fadyen, and had a daughter who was married to Allan Maclean, the poet’s father. Neil Lamont was thus the great-grandfather of John Maclean, the poet. The Montgomery Highlanders went to America in 1757. The poem was composed at that time." |
