Dr Alan G. Macpherson, Professor Emeritus of the Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John's, Newfoundland, Canada is also the seanachaidh (clan historian) of the Clan Macpherson. Over his long and distinguished career he has published many learned papers and books on various aspects of the Clan Macpherson. Some of these have appeared in Creag Dhubh, the Clan Macpherson Association Annual and are available elsewhere on this website. Through his kind permission we are now able to republish several other papers that have appeared in other journals over the years.
In copying these papers for display on this site we have corrected all errata that have been identified by the author. In addition we have preserved the pagination of the original paper using the following convention.
The page-number lines shown below are the basis for the correct viewing format -- they establish the correct width of the text window for optimum viewing (i.e., there should be no overlap in the dashes of the page-number lines).
--------------------------------------------------------bottom of page # x-----------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------top of page # x+1-----------------------------------------------------
In some cases the width of the illustration extends beyond the established page width with the result that it cannot be viewed without widening the screen page or scrolling to the right. This option was chosen rather than decreasing the size of the illustration which otherwise would be difficult to read the presented data.
