March 16 in Scottish History

On 16 March 1914, Sir John Murray, the noted Scottish oceanographer, died. Murray pioneered the science of oceanography. He was one of the naturalists on the 'HMS Challenger' expedition of 1872-76, and edited the expedition's reports. He invented a device for sounding and registering the sea's temperature at great depths, and also completed the first biological survey of the lochs of Scotland.

On 16 March 1995, Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, the Chief of Clan Fraser, died. Fraser, a WWII hero, played a key role in the development of the commandos and was actively involved in both the Dieppe Raid, 1942, and D-Day landings, 1944.
