<t>Hi Alison, I visited Rothesay last year.  The small museum near the Castle has an exhibit on the Rev(Dr.) Archibald McLea, longtime minister of Rothesay from the late 1700s to mid 1800s. I found his large gravestone next to the north side of his old church. It is laying flat just to the north of ...

Hi all, Ran across this website and typed in "mclea". Up came a pretty good summary of our clan. Craig

Dear Niall, Was sad to hear of the passing of your father, the "oldest peer in the realm". May I join the long list of clan members and others in extending my deepest sympathies. Craig

An interesting reference to this Duncan is found in book entitled "Colintraive and Glendaruel",</t>

Oops, my bad.

The reference contains one bit of information that we did not previously have: that Duncan McLea (author of our 1743 manuscript), was minister of Kirkmichael parish from 1712-1717. This fact poses some interesting questions: 1) While there are several Kirkmichael parishes in S...
