Kenny MacLennan
From Moriston Matters, Issue 26, October 1981.
We are sorry to a record the death on September 25th of Kenny MacLennan who was 90 last June. Although he lived with his niece, Mrs Margo Smith, in Fort Augustus for the last few years he spent the greatest part of his life in Glenmoriston. During the First World War he worked in the wood and later for the Forestry Commission until he retired. When he married Margaret MacPherson he improved the cottage at Craigard (now demolished) and settled there where he and Maggie had the kindest of welcomes for all who called. Kenny also kept a very tidy vegetable garden, and indeed was still to be found doing gardening jobs until not much more than a year ago. He was of a sociable disposition and his ability to recite Tam o' Shanter from beginning to end made him much in demand at Burns Suppers. When TV became a viable proposition for the village Kenny was one of those who helped to lay the cable, and this prepared the way for many pleasant evenings in many homes. His friendly personality will be much missed and we offer our sincere sympathy to Margo, who nursed him devotedly doing his last illness.
