	THE 90TH (PERTHSHIRE) LIGHT INFANTRY "A DAUGHTER OF THE REGIMENT"
	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.
