     More information may be found here.

     The Clan Gregor Society Archives (Scotland) (Adobe Acrobat 150+ KB) were donated to the National Library of Scotland on behalf of the Clan Gregor Centre in February 1999.  This is the first of three (as of April 2004) Clan Gregor deposits.  For the second, see Acc. 12335.  For the third see Acc.12335.  According to the NLS:  This material represents the contribution of a rather small number of active individuals to the Clan Gregor Centre over many years of collecting and compiling. It represent both traditional knowledge and many years of research. It has occasionally been possible to attribute a file to a named individual but in most cases the folders are composite collections from many sources and these are attributed to me in my capacity as curator and general editor.

• Another View of Gregor MacGregor, the Swashbuckling Scot Who Ruled Amelia Island:  The history of Amelia Island is abundant with colorful characters, but perhaps none were more outlandish than Sir Gregor MacGregor, the Scottish-born General turned South American freedom fighter who ruled the island for the summer of 1817. ... On June 29, 1817, MacGregor led a ragtag band of troops to a victory over the Spanish garrison that was in control of Amelia Island.  The Spanish were caught completely by surprise. General MacGregor's shrewd plan of attack resulted in only one shot being fired - and that was by mistake!  The Capital Scot recommends that you read on!  More at The Prince of Poyais , King of Florida , General Gregorio MacGregor Martí Tovar y Tovar, and Florida's Historic Places: Fernandina and Amelia Island.
