Comments

As a gt. granddaughter of Sir Colin George Macrae I visited this memorial about 10 years ago. I am puzzled by the 'rubbing out' seen in the photo below the line "laid to rest Petty West by Inverness". There was nothing to rub out when I saw it. Can you please explain? Was there a subsequent inscription?

The image library shows inscriptions of deaths up to the end of 1979. The inscription 'painted out' post-dates this. [this is explained in the Notes on the Home Page].
