On #ArmisticeDay as we remember those who went to war and never returned home, and those who came back changed forever #LestWeForget the personal stories:

Angus Sutherland Mackay, born 1893, Trantlebeg, was a piper with the 6th Btn Seaforth Highlanders.

#StrathnaverCollection holds copies of letters written by Angus to his family, his medals and this photo.

If you would like to share your family story please get in touch.
