The links Sir William Drummond Stewart, later the 7th Baronet of Murthly, created between the Rocky Mountains and Murthly are being celebrated this week. Sir William spent five years as a beaver trapper in the American fur trade in the 1830s. When he returned to Scotland he brought with him two American Indians. Now, after more than 170 years, tribesmen will once again set foot in Murthly to mark the historic link. This photo shows Willie LeClair, of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe, in front of the castle. See the full story in Friday's Courier.
