This is the stone commemorating my great-grandparents. Copies of the correspondence between Robert Campbell and Osgood MacKenzie, discussing his appointment as gardener at Inverewe, have been given to the museum at Gairloch. His son Finlay drove the mail bus for many years between Gairloch and Achnasheen.
