Dedication of the Cairn to Ewan of the '45 was one of the celebratory events of the Golden Jubilee Gathering. Displaying the Book of Gold in the glass-topped cabinet shown here was another highlight of this celebration.

The Book of Gold lists the names of the individuals who contributed money and materials -- mostly rocks -- to the erection of the cairn. Page 1 of the Book can be examined in this photo but ass soon as time permits, we will add the other pages to this virtual panel.

The name that should top the list is that of Ewen S. L. MacPherson aalthough modesty prevents him from doing so. For it was he who conceived of the cairn , arranged for its design and erection , raised the funds that allowed it to be constructed, solicited the donation of rocks from the fourcorners of the Earth and created the Book of Gold .
