His active soldiering days over, he is appointed General Officer Commanding in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), but soon finds himself in conflict with the high-born elite who run the colony. Allegations of liasions with young boys surface and Macdonald is forced to return home. Rather than face a court martial, he shoots himself in a Paris hotel. But was he guilty? Or was he the victim of a plot fabricated by an English Establishment, motivated by jealousy and snobbery, at a Gaelic-speaking upstart who got above himself?
