There is an account of rejoicings in Lochaber to welcome Lochiel and his wife, Lady Vere Cameron, sister of the Earl of Buckinghamshire, who was introduced to the Clan for the first time. A large gathering of clansmen took place, each wearing a spring of oak in his bonnet. The Macdonalds of Keppoch came down from Glen Spean wearing the heather and oak entwined as emblematic of the good understanding which has existed between the two clans. |
