• Mary Agnes McGeachy was Ontario-Scottish on both sides of her family. ‘Her sense of her Scottish heritage was very strong indeed,’ said Iverach McDonald, managing editor of the LondonTimes. ‘We spoke a lot about Highland history. She was proud to be part of the clan Ranald Macdonald – we had that as a common background.’¹ Both McGeachy’s parents were part of the Scottish-Canadian community which populated the southwestern part of Ontario. Inhabitants of the region were oriented as much to the United States as to Canada, and actually lived nearer to the big American cities of Detroit and Buffalo
