Perthshire
Election
At
a Perthshire election Sir John Camphell solicited a Mr MacGreger
to use his influence with his son, to give
his vote for Sir George Mnrray. The old man said it would be
useless, as his son was already fully pledged to the opposite
party.
Sir John
was greatly displeased when he heard this, and testily replied:
“Then
your son is not a true MacGregor; there must be some bad blood
in him.“
To which
the descendant of Rob Roy quietly replied:
“I
wouldn't doubt that, Sir John, for his mother was a Campbell!“
