Sorting through old files I came across the following information from a gentleman who is no longer with us. Some of the writing is difficult to decipher, so when reading my notes please bear this in mind. Thomas Fraser DUNBAR was born in Edinburgh in 1913. He attended George Heriot's School, served in the Royal Navy as a Writer, became a Petty Officer, was awarded the BEM and was Mentioned in Despatches. He married Thora Phyliss GEEVES. There were no children of the marriage, and Thomas believed he was the last of his line. Thomas's father George DUNBAR, possibly born in Nairn, was an RSM in the Seaforth Highlanders just before the outbreak of the 1914-18 war. His un-named mother may have beeb born in Dingwall. Thomas wrote the following - 'Understand early 19th. century there were two brothers, one an absolute rogue who pillaged the countryside. The other one ecclesiastical high links in his church in Nairn who never failed to inform the world of his infamous brother. In the end the rogue cut his brother's throat on the steps of his church in Nairn.' Such a story must be part of local legend. Has anyone heard of it? Does anyone have details of the family? Patrick.
