McPhadrick Lamonts of Coustoun
Permalink  
 

The Mother House of the Clan Lamont, "The Old Manse," under the tender and loving care of Mary Lamb, CLS Secretary, is alive and well.  Funding is always appreciated asthe Manse is old and in constant need of repair.  Last summer I spent a delightful time there doing family geneology research.  Mary Lambe, as always, was the perfect hostess.  MyLamont ancestors came from across Loch Striven, centered around what is now just a placename of Coustoun.  My visit to that locale made me wonder how the McPhadrick's could even exist in such a desolate place  But exist they did and were one of the oldest septs of the Clan.

I had the pleasure of presenting to Mary, as Secretary of the mother Clan Lamont Society, photo portraits of two of my Lamont ancestors, brothers Henry and William.  William is credited with being one of the mainstays of the Society in it's early days.  Henry sat on the first council.  While most clan members are more than familiar with this, one of the most ancient of the clans, few are that familiar with the founding of the Society in Glasgow in 1895 which provided the impetus of CLS worldwide.

Thanks for the info, I found this little snip in Who's Who in Glasgow on the Colonel:

Nothing, new, I am sure, your research hasn't already given you.
Have you inquired with the Royal Artillery (as all these regiments have amalgamated), their museum or historian may have some photographs or writings concerning his tenure as Colonel.

Hello Henry,

My granduncle, lieutant-colonel W'm Lamont, commanded the 4th Lowland (City of Glasgow) Howitzer Brigade, R.F.A.

Thanks for your inquiry.

Philip
