Brigadier Eneas Grant, born 1901, belonged to a family which served in the Seaforth Highlanders for four generations. He served in the regiment from 1920 to 1955, when he retired to his house and hill farm at Tomatin. Both his sons joined the Seaforth, the elder being killed in action in Korea in 1951. The supplement to the London Gazette of October 1945 announced 'The KING has been graciously pleased to approve the following awards in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in North-West Europe: Brigadier (acting) Eneas Henry George GRANT, D.S.O., M.C. (18829), The Seaforth Highlanders (Ross-shire Buffs, The Duke of Albany's) (Tomatin, Inverness).' An un-dated newspaper cutting from 1951 is filed with the negatives. It announces his being awarded a C.B.E. and states: 'Brigadier (Temporary) Eneas Henry George Grant, D.S.O, M.C., late Infantry. Brigadier Grant is the only surviving son of the late Col. H.G. Grant and of Mrs I. Grant, Balnespick, Tomatin, and his house is at Auchenfroe, Nairn. He was awarded the M.C. when serving with his regiment, The Seaforth Highlanders, in Palestine in 1936, and won the D.S.O. in 1944, gaining a Bar to it in 1945.'
