Angus Maclean, Tiree bank manager from 1959 to 1964. Pictured whilst working for the National Bank of Scotland in Fort William and sometimes on the travelling bank.

“Angus Maclean was brought up in Uist. His predecessor, John Wilson was from Fair Isle and Roddy Morrison from Lewis took over from Angus, then it was Willie Groat from Orkney. The bank chose people from the islands as they thought that would work better. My parents were very happy in Tiree and had a lot of friends although I think my father found it stressful at times being the banker.”  by the donor of this photograph and others in this collection at 2025.53 Isabel Beaton.
