Hugh MacPherson of Edinburgh

[creagdhubh]

Aye,

Hugh Macpherson of Edinburgh is still in business (mid to late 1940's-to present time). I personally knew Hugh and his lovely wife Janet, even though I was just a wee lad at the time. I have met his daughter Jean several times and she used to run the shop after Hugh passed away. Jean's daughter Allison now runs the shop. (Hugh and his family have always been very active within the Clan Macpherson Association and have been staunch supporters since its creation in 1946) They used to have a website up and running (not sure what happened to it!), yet one couldn't place an order online...I'm afraid you must travel to Edinburgh!

"Wandering Highlander" refers to the autobiographical book that Hugh wrote in 1979, of which I have many brand new copies available for purchase if one should be interested. I am the Clan Store manager for the Clan Macpherson-U.S. Branch and have the books in my inventory, along with other interesting and smart items relating to the Clan Macpherson and the Clan Chattan Confederation. Hugh was a great ambassador of the "proper" way to wear Highland attire and accomplished much in is lifetime. He was extremely proficient on the pipes and was actually a former pipe major.

You can find the Hugh Macpherson shop at the below address (they have sinced moved from their West Maitland address in Haymarket), or ring the shop (Allison) direct at 031-225 4008/9 (2 phone lines).
