	THE 90TH (PERTHSHIRE) LIGHT INFANTRY "A DAUGHTER OF THE REGIMENT"
	It is not generally known that there resides in Perth a lady of advanced years whose father was among the first to join the 90th (Perthshire) Light Infantry (a regiment of which every Perthshireman is so greatly proud), and who herself was born in the regiment while it was on foreign service. The subject of our sketch is Mrs. Mary Buchan or McEwan, who resides with her son, Mr. James McEwan, dyer, Bathousie Terrace, Dunkeld Road, Perth. Mrs. McEwan was born in the Isle of St. Vincent, West Indies, in 1811, and was the eldest of eight of a family. At the time of her birth, Mrs. McEwan's father, Henry Buchan, was a colour-sergeant in the 90th Regiment. A native of the parish of Tibbermuir, Colour-Sergeant Buchan was among the first of the brave young men who responded to the earnest appeal of the famous Lord Lynedoch, who had set his heart on raising a regiment comprised entirely of Perthshire men at a time when Napoleon, in the full tide of victory, threatened to invade Great Britain. Young Buchan was induced all the more readily to volunteer for service against the French, who were then the terror of Europe, from the fact that he had as comrades not a few whom he had known from childhood. With his regiment, the gallant 90th, Colour-Sergeant Buchan served in Egypt in 1801 under the renowned Sir Ralph Abercrombie, and was for his service awarded the Egyptian medal and three clasps, each clasp representing a separate engagement. It was while with his regiment in the Isle of St. Vincent that Colour-Sergeant Buchan entered into the married state, his wife being a native of Glasgow, and the daughter of a soldier. Mrs. McEwan is thus the grand-daughter of a soldier, as well as the daughter of a soldier.
	The 90th Regiment was on the way home from South America, after a considerable spell of foreign service, when it was intercepted by orders from the War Office, and ordered to proceed to the Peninsula, where Napoleon, having escaped from the island of Elba, was massing an enormous army, preparatory to the last stand against the combined Powers of Europe. On being landed in the Peninsula, the 90th Light Infantry proceeded by forded marches towards Brussels. Though Mrs. McEwan was thus a child of little more than four years, she retains a lively recollection of the hurry and bustle which characterise a gallant regiment anxious to add to its fame, and eager to get to the scene of action before the fighting finished. Anxious as they were to get to the front, they only succeeded in joining the Duke of Wellington's forces on the 19th of June, the day after the decisive battle of Waterloo was fought. It was while the 90th Regiment was on the march that Colour-Sergeant Buchan had an addition made to his family, and found himself the proud parent of two daughters. Mrs. McEwan relates how, on reaching Waterloo, she eluded her mother's supervision, and wandering from the camp on to the battlefield, she saw dead men and dead horses lying in heaps. She was too young at the time to take particular notice of events that would have made a lasting impression upon a child a year or two older. She never, she says, had the pleasure of seeing the Great Duke, but she well remembers the intense interest which her mother manifested in her new and startling surroundings. Another thing which she recollects quite distinctly was the horrifying spectacle that the field of Waterloo presented before the remains of the dead warriors were put under the sod. The 90th Light Infantry formed part of the army of occupation after the final defeat and flight of Napoleon. Thrown into the society of youngsters of her own age, the subject of our sketch readily adopted the French patois. So proficient did she become in the lingo, that her own parents did not understand her. Her mother, as became the wife of a patriotic Scottish soldier, had no special liking for anything French; and the French language in particular, or "gibberish", as she was wont to contemptuously call it, had a grating sound, even coming from the lips of her own child.
	In the autumn of 1815 the regiment disembarked at Southampton, and proceeded to Scotland. After completing his period of service, Colour-Sergeant Buchan retired on a pension, which he continued to draw for 44 years, he having died in 1860 at the age of 86. He resided for many years at Dovecotland, Perth. His wife, who outlived him by fully a quarter of a century, died about eleven years ago, at the ripe age of 100. As was to be expected, Mrs. McEwan took a keen interest in all the proceedings connected with the unveiling of the monument on the North Inch to the regiment to which her father had belonged, though she was not privileged to be present as a spectator. Lord Wolseley was proud of the array of old warriors assembled on the North Inch in honour of the 90th Regiment; but there were few there that day who were cognisant of the fact that there was within hail an old lady who was born in the brave old corps 86 years ago, and who had followed its fortunes in the days of her childhood. Though so much advanced beyond the allotted span, Mrs. McEwan is still hale and hearty. The only thing she suffers from is a slight deafness. She has lived to see her great-grandchildren, by whom as well as by the other generations of her family she is worshipped as only a true-hearted, motherly woman can be. Our illustration is from a photograph by Mr. Ireland, photographer, Perth.
