Colonel Macpherson, who was 68 years of age, had an honourable record as a soldier. It is stated in 'Church and Social Life in the Highlands' that he entered the army in 1853 as ensign in the 30th Regiment, and embarked for the Crimea in May 1854. He landed with the regiment at Old Fort in September following, and was present at the Battle of Alma, where he received a slight wound. When the captain of the Grenadier Company was severely wounded, he succeeded to the command of the company, and brought it out of action. Colonel Macpherson was present at the sortie from Sebastopol and at the Battle of Inkerman, where his regiment came out of action with only five officers uninjured. He served throughout the siege in the trenches up to August 1855, when he was invalided home. Colonel Macpherson, who was a member of the Queen's Bodyguard of Rangers, was in possession of the Crimean war medal with three clasps, the 5th class of the Order of the Medjidie, and the Turkish medal. He was a keen sportsman and an enthusiastic golfer, being a member of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. The Ralia Macphersons, whom he represented, were closely allied to the family of the Chief of the Clan. The deceased succeeded to the estate of Glentruim on the death of his brother in 1868. His father was also a distinguished soldier, and Captain Robert Macpherson, his brother, who died in Inverness, had a good record of service with the 92nd (Gordon) Highlanders. The late Colonel Macpherson is survived by a widow and family. Mr Duncan Macpherson, the eldest son, who now succeeds to the property, has been engaged in mining exploration in Northern Canada and Mexico, and he hastened home from Mexico on hearng of the serious illness of his father. He arrived in Inverness about two months ago. Mr Norman Macpherson, who is engaged in cattle-ranching in Canada, and Mr Ian Macpherson, of Lovat's Scouts, are younger sons. The funeral will take place from Glentruim House on Thursday, the arrangements being in charge of Mr R. Noble, The White House, Inglis Street."
