Charles Rawden Maclean
Charles Rawden Maclean, also known as "John Ross", was born on 17 August 1815 in Fraserburgh and died 13 August 1880 at sea on the RMS ''Larne'' while en route to Southampton.〔Gray (1992) – Introduction〕 In a tribute to him during the re-dedication of his grave in Southampton in 2009, the Zulu War author and broadcaster Ian Knight said:Maclean was a champion of liberty, and his stone will be one of the few inscriptions in a British cemetery which commemorates a positive interaction between the British and Zulu people; most existing memorials commemorate individuals who were involved in Anglo-Zulu conflict.
==Accuracy of contemporary records==
There is considerable speculation regarding MacLean's early life. Gray〔Gray, 1992〕 identifies three contemporary sources from which information pertaining to Maclean can be drawn – works by Nathaniel Isaacs,〔Isaacs, 1836, Vol I〕〔 Francis Fynn, and McLean himself. Gray is of the view that Isaac's writings were intended to make ''a sensation of his own adventures'' rather than being a matter of historic record. In these writings, Maclean was referred to as ''John Ross'', possibly a nickname on account of his ginger hair,〔 though it has been alleged that Isaacs invented that name because he had forgotten Maclean's real name.
