Harold's parents were John Leyburn MacLean (born about 1790, I think in the same area - Captain in the 43rd Regiment - and a grandson of Donald, 5th Maclean of Muck) and Jane Eliza Grant (daughter of Grant of Red Castle). They were married on 14-8-1823 at Urquhart. Can anyone also tell me where Red Castle is? Thanks Thelma Reynolds - Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia >> I have never heard of "Red Castle" the only castle in that area is Urquart just up from the Doors Road. I believe it is. Then there is St. Agustas Abby. Is there a chance that he was the Major MacLean with the Bradlebane Fencibles at the Mutiny in Glasgow? or Cap. MacLean of the same era. DaveM.
