Biography
Cpt Murdoch Maclaine was killed at the Battle of Maida in 1806.
A monument was erected to the memory of Gillian Maclaine (1798-1840), 3rd of Scallastle, in 1842 in Warriston Cemetery in north Edinburgh, one of the first monuments in the cemetery. The connection to Edinburgh is unclear.[1] The monument also remembers two of his paternal cousins: Cpt Murdoch Maclaine, killed at the Battle of Maida in 1806, and Major John MacLaine (1778-1815), killed at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. These men were the sons of Marie (1747-1846) and Gillean MacLaine (abt.1724-1788), Maclaine's uncle.
