Council chairman Roland Proctor remarked that, when serving in Malaya in the early 1970s, he and his family were holidaying in the Cameron Highlands and, as he walked through the small town of Tanah Ratah, he could not believe his ears as he heard the tune "Caddam Woods" emulating from a small cafe nearby.

He told his wife and family that the music which was being played was that of Jim Cameron's dance band.

His assumption proved correct as found the local cafe owner enraptured by the Beltona 78 record of Jim Cameron and his Scottish dance band playing "Caddam Woods".

Bruce Walker the local sculptor has been commissioned to produce a memorial slab to commemorate this famous family which will be laid in Cumberland Close at a later date - joining memorials to four famous Kirriemarians and three Victoria Cross holders with strong local connections.

Those already commemorated by way of plaques are Kirrie-born rock musician Bon Scott of AC/DC fame, celebrated playwright Sir J. M. Barrie, noted 19th century geologist Sir Charles Lyell, Sir Hugh Munro, the man whose name is famously associated with all Scottish peaks over 3000 feet, together with the three Victoria Cross holders with strong links to Kirrie - Captain Charles Lyell, Corporal Richard Burton and Private Charles Melvin.
