Notes
Known locally as Iain a Tobhta, the name of Alasdair a Ruaidh has been connected to Iain Macleod. This perhaps relates to Iain's father, who was Alexander. Macleod was born in Staffin and lived at Clachan with his paretns Alexander and Annie. He had joined the Merchant Navy when he was 18 years old. He was serving onboard the SS San Derwent in the Mediterranean. On 30th May 1944 he was accidently drowned in Casablanca as he was taking another sailor to his ship in a rowing boat which was overturned.
* A Commonwealth War Graves Commission stone was placed on his grave in 1958.
