    Hiking

    Sir Hector Archibold Macdonald was the son of a crofter from the Black Isle who, despite his lowly origins, rose through the ranks to become commanding officer of a Highland Brigade in the late 1800s - an unheard-of feat when entry into the Commissioned Corps was by the right of birth, wealth and connections. A man of quiet dignity, Macdonald took his own life in the aftermath of allegations by high-ranking officers. In his memory, the National Memorial was erected on Mitchell Hill above Dingwall between 1904 and 1907.
