Archibald Macdonald


From Moriston Matters, Issue 27, February 1982.

Archibald McDonald (Archie Dott - so called because his father's sister married Mr Dott, who was the last inn-keeper at Torgoyle) died in Surrey, where in recent years he had made his home with his wife, Audrey, on 23rd October. He grew up at the Home Farm where he was the son of the grieve. After retiring from the Derby Police Force he took a teacher training course and taught science subjects for a number of years. He travelled extensively in Europe, Israel, and Canada and was always willing to show slides and tell the story of these journeys. His visits to Glenmoriston and around, where he had a number of connections and friends, were always full of interest and he willingly contributed an article to an earlier issue of Moriston Matters. We would extend our deep sympathy to Audrey.
