I hear that the founder of the SAS Regiment Colonel Sir David Stirling, Scots Guards & SAS is buried at Morar having had his funeral at ST CUMIN'S CHURCH on the shores of Loch Morar. His grandfather built it. Col Stirling died November 1990 the son of Brigadier General Archibald Stirling of Keir ( His Mother being Hon Margaret Fraser a daughter of Lord Lovat). Ive just recently found a wonderful statue of Col Stirling on the DOUNE to BRIDGE OF ALLAN road ( B 824 ) . He is in army uniform looking north to his ancestral lands. No road signs at present for this magnificent statue of him in his 6ft 5 inches height. Well recommended to visit it if that area of Scotland.
