Lochcarron

Last week, Ian and I traveled to Lochcarron to visit family on his dad's side. 
We were able to stop and see the grave site of Lachlan Mackenzie who was a well known preacher for 37 years in Lochcarron before he passed away in 1819.

View from the graveyard..

The graveyard where Lachlan Mackenzie was buried, the ruinous structure in the background used to be the church where he pastored.

Lachlan Mackenzie's grave


It was hard to read it off the stone itself so someone had put a plaque next to it explaining what it said.

 Gravestone of Ian's Granny's Granny.. Julia Gillies (in the same graveyard)

Interesting story about Ceit Mhor.. and Lachlan Mackenzie.. (buried in the same graveyard as well..) More on that tomorrow!!
