Unfortunately, I cannot help you. The mausoleum is locked. This photo was donated some years ago. Highland council may be able to tell who the keyholder is.

The key is obtainable from the parish office in the Muir of Ord.

I'm thrilled to see this. I descend from Murdoch Kennedy Gillanders, born Achintee, (Loch Carron) July 1834, emigrated to New Zealand in 1861. To this day, our family still use Kennedy as a second name. We believe the family in Scotland was related to Dr John Kennedy (15 August 1819 – 28 April 1884) but we have no proof of this. Can anyone in Scotland today throw any light on this? Thank you.

Hello Leonie. The scotlandspeople website is very good for such research. You make an account and buy credits to use to access online documents. It's an excellent resource.

Thank you for this suggestion Roddie. I will follow-up. Leonie
