56718: Donald Nicolson
Dòmhnall Choinnich Dhòmhnaill
Donald (1895-1946) was a son of Kenneth Nicolson and Peggy Carmichael, 16 Lemreway.
He served in the Gordon Highlanders in the First World War and his name is mentioned in Loyal Lewis: Roll of Honour 1914-1918.
In Lochs, in 1932, he married Catherine Ann Macinnes, 2 Lemreway. Donald and Catherine Ann had five children.
They were one of the landless families who raided and resettled Steimreway after the First World War. As the raiders were not recognised as crofters and no facilities were provided for them, they began to move away from Steimreway in the difficult conditions of the 1930s.
When the maternal croft became available, the family returned to 2 Lemreway.
