Have just finished reading the will of Lt.-Col. (it is signed Alexander MacLean, Late Lt. Col. 3d W. I . Regt), and hoping that someone can help me understand the last paragraph. It reads: "In accordance to the wishes of my mother the remains of her father John Lorne Maclean to be exhumed from Knock in Mull and interred in Rolic Oran Island of Iona in the grave of his father Alean MacCharlich, Alan Maclean and his ancestor (Ian Larnach Mor) the great John Lorne Maclean is desire being undiscovered till after his funeral which last must be done before this is brought into being". Interment - could this be Reilig Odhrain Burial Ground which is south of the Abbey on Iona? Or possibly Saint Orans Chapel Cemetery on Iona? Does anyone know if there is a transcription for either or both of these cemeteries? His mother - she being Mary Maclean of Grulin/Gruline - her father's name would be John Lorne Maclean, who was a son of Alan Maclean? - and I really can't figure out "Ian Larnach Mor". Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi Linda, >> Interment - could this be Reilig Odhrain Burial Ground which is south of the Abbey on Iona? Or possibly Saint Orans Chapel Cemetery on Iona? Does anyone know if there is a transcription for either or both of these cemeteries? It would be almost certainly be Reilig Odhrain. Most of the old MI's there are completely unreadable. Some areas are completely devoid of markers. I recall reading somewhere that an area of the burial ground was cleared years ago because of the dangerous state of the markers.
