Biography:

He was a fisherman. Kennneth’s father and at least one brother were drowned in Loch Torridon lifting lobster pots or fishing; Kenneth and his brothers were known as Wattle after their father, while his sisters were known as Leesy (named after their mother Elizabeth or Leesy). So there was Cèit Leesy, Seasag Leesy, etc., and Bean a’ Phuist was another sister. According to the Highland Council’s register of interments, he lies in Section III Lair 10, but this must be a typographical error.
