Jay MacKercher is the first member of our family in at least a 140 years to have been invited to visit the interior of Meggernie Castle. He is pictured here in the base of the Castle's tower which was built in 1585 by "Mad Colin" Campbell. In 1673 Robert Campbell embarked on a plan to enlarge Meggernie Castle. In 1692, Captain Robert Campbell, while at Meggernie, planned the infamous massacre of the MacIan MacDonald clan at Glencoe. This photo was taken in 1997, while the U. S. Navy guided missile frigate ship ESTOCIN Jay commanded was visiting Edinburgh. Jay, John Cameron, Jr., is the son of John and Leah MacKercher and a 6th generation MacKercher.
