R. R. McIan
Robert Ronald McIan (1803 – 13 December 1856), also Robert Ranald McIan, was an actor and painter of Scottish descent. He is best known for romanticised depictions of Scottish clansmen, their battles and domestic life.
His wife, Fanny McIan, was a painter and early teacher of art to women.
==Acting==
McIan was born in Scotland, in 1803. He became an actor with the joint company of the Theatre Royals in Bristol and Bath〔 before making his way to London. In 1838 he played at the Covent Garden Theatre and at Drury Lane in the following year.〔 He gained a reputation for playing Highlanders on the stage,〔 at a time when the novels of Sir Walter Scott had revived interest in Highland culture.
It's not clear when he gave up the stage to devote himself to painting. He played the jester in the Eglinton Tournament of 1839〔 and the 1885 DNB says he retired in that year.〔 A letter from Charles Dickens mentions seeing McIan perform on 23 June 1841,〔 not long before McIan's wife started a steady job as a teacher.
