Donald MacLean of Scarinish (Dòmhnall Òg) was born in 1859. He sailed all over the world, first in sailing vessels and later in steamships. For some time he skippered the gabbert ‘Primrose’ for MacQuarrie the shopkeeper.
In 1886 Donald married Catherine MacFadyen of Kirkapol and the couple had six sons and four daughters. After acquiring the schooner ‘Mary Stewart’ in 1908, he and his sons worked the vessel until the late 1930s.
Not the man to retire, Donald made use of the Mary Stewart’s jolly-boat to fish for lobsters. He worked productively until his death at the age of eighty-six in 1945, shortly after which a cheque arrived from Billingsgate Fish Market in London for winkles he had shipped off a few days earlier.

Willie Bunting of Balemartine
Photograph of Willie Bunting during World War II.
The first Tiree man to enlist after the outbreak of World War II was Willie Bunting of Balemartine. He is pictured in this photograph (second right in the front row) after completing his training at Newcastle. Prior to this, he worked for Johnny Brown at the Scarinish Hotel as a motor mechanic and taxi driver.
In 1939 he asked Johnny for a couple of days off work and went to Stirling Castle where he joined the army. On his return in 1945, Johnny handed him a large brown envelope containing his wages for the time he was away.
After the war Willie worked on Tiree as a haulier, then left for Glasgow in the early 1950s to work as a mechanic. He returned to the island in 1969 to work as an engineer in the power house in Crossapol.
