FOOTNOTES:
[1] Cameron.
[2] Literally ‘The Fragrant One,’ suggesting freshness. ‘In primitive
religious thought, the idea of godhead is specially connected with that
of fresh unfading life, and the impurity which must be kept aloof is
associated with physical corruption and death.’
[3] Cameron.
[4] Cameron.
[5] Mr. Cameron was a lineal descendant of the massacred chief of
Glencoe. It was known that the three sons of the chief escaped on the
night of that terrible massacre; but they were lost sight of, and
historians could not tell what afterwards became of them. One of them
fled over the hills into Morayshire, changing his name, and two of
his descendants are to be found in a northern city to-day. The other
two, escaped into Perthshire, took their mother’s name of Cameron--she
was a Cameron of Lochiel. One of them, Hugh, afterwards emigrated
to Canada, the other lived and died in Perthshire. His eldest son
became the tax-collector of the village of Dunkeld, and his eldest
son James went to Madagascar in 1826 as a missionary artisan (he had
been instructed and greatly helped in his studies by the late Rev. Mr.
Black, Congregational minister of Dunkeld).
