Twenty-two years ago, already an old man, he returned to Mull to fulfill his dream. Masons and workmen went to work and soon the towers of Duart Castle were standing again. Last week at 98 he was the oldest Highland chieftain, with tasseled sporran and a jeweled skean dhus dirk in his stocking. But the buckles on his pumps were no brighter than his blue eyes.
