Drover was written on the back of my wife talking about the father of an adopted aunt, who had been a drover before buying a pub in Glasgow. There's a lot more to McPherson, However. His daughter Mary married a sea captain. There were few jobs just after WW1 and her husband tried to be an insurance sales man. Like me, he wasn't a roaring success and when into a pub one day to get a drink. In the pub he met a man looking for a captain with a Suez canal ticket and got the job. He took the family to Australia, where Mary bought a farm, called it Moidart after McPherson's home glen and made it into a model farm. I met Mary once and she was fascinating.
