A very special Cameron was
introduced to other members of the clan at a gathering last week at Achnacarry
House, the home of clan chief Donald Hamish Cameron of Lochiel.
He was Lochiel's grandson,
seven-week-old Donald Andrew John Cameron making his first public appearance at
Achnacarry. The baby is the son of Lochiel's older son Donald, the heir to
the chiefship.
As the infant was carried round
the room in the arms of his mother, Lady Cecil, glasses were raised in a toast,
and on behalf of all present, retired stalker Mr. Alex Stevenson handed over a
small gift.
One very honoured guest who
received a special welcome from Donald Angus was his former teacher at the
village school, Miss Lily Kennedy.
Two-year-old Catherine Mary, the
baby's "elder" sister, was also present and had no lack of admirers as
she toddled around the room with her nannie.
A Christening ceremony for the
new baby held on Sunday was conducted by Dean G.K.B. Henderson and Father
Maclean.
The baby's Godfather, his uncle
Johnny Cameron, has a post in Tokyo and could not be present at the Christening
but during the service he made a phone call from Japan to extend his best
wishes.
Lochiel acted on his behalf
during the ceremony. |
