Notes:

The MacLeans of Torloisk were a long established Mull family who by the end of the eighteenth century were represented by Marianne MacLean, (1765 ? 1843), the only daughter and heiress of Lachlan MacLean of Torloisk (1720 ? 1799). Marianne had married William Douglas Clephane from Carsloggie in Fife, (who added 'MacLean' to his own family name), and they had three surviving daughters, Margaret, Anna? Jane and Wilmina. The father Major General W. D. MacLean Clephane as he became, was a career military man and died in 1803 shortly after being posted to Grenada as its military governor. This led to Sir Walter Scott, who had acted for the family in a legal capacity becoming an unofficial 'godfather' to the girls.

The mother and daughters were all musical, the young ladies in particular having benefited from instruction by Ann Young, the inventor of a patented musical game, and subsequently the wife of John Gunn, the author of the Highland Society Report on the Lude Harps. Between them the Torloisk ladies compiled a large collection of music manuscripts ranging from their native Gaelic songs to the current art music of that period. Among this collection one discrete manuscript contains a number of predominantly Irish tunes along with ten 'Ports' copied by Anna Jane in December 1816, according to her initials and date at the bottom of the last 'Port' on page 69.

Marianne married Maj.-Gen William Douglas (21st of Carslogie) Maclean Clephane on 14 Sep 1790. William (son of George (of Carslogie) Clephane and Anne Jean Douglas, son of George Clephane, of Carslogie and Anne Jean Douglas) was born on 20 Apr 1759 in Carslogie, Fifeshire, Scotland; died on 4 Nov 1803 in Grenada, Windward Islands, Lesser Antilles, West Indies.
