I have a query about these dates. I can see these are the dates on the headstone but I downloaded the certificates from Scotland's People and they have Alexander died 6 May 1869 aged 67 at Derry Torridon, informant Ann, his wife. Then Ann McLean died 5 June 1873 aged 75, widow of Alexander McRae. Are there two couples Alexander McRae & Ann McLean died at the same time?-highly unlikely but possible.

Hello Ann, I don't know answer. If you search against 'Derry Torridon' you'll see a website which also spots this anomaly.

Hi Roddie, Thank you for the help. Lots of info on that site. I guess they are the same couple, maybe the headstone was done after some time, and the dates mixed up.
