About John Nairne

Lieutenant-Colonel John Nairne was a Scottish-Canadian soldier and seigneur. Nairne came to Canada in 1758 as a lieutenant, and participated in the captures of Louisbourg and Quebec City. Given Nairne's lack of prospects back in Scotland, he decided to remain in Canada, and in 1762 he received, along with his friend Malcolm Fraser, the seigneury of La Malbaie, with Fraser taking Mount Murray and Nairne receiving Murray Bay and a section of Charlevoix, Quebec. Nairne retired on half-pay as soon as he received his land as was common practice amongst British officers and soldiers at the time.
