John and Scott MacKercher standing at the markers of Catherine McKerchar (1828-1853) and her younger sister Mary (1834-1836). They were the daughters of the elder Farquhar and Elizabeth McKerchar. Both markers had fallen face down. Scott insisted on turning them over to identify the deceased. They were his great-great aunts. This cemetery is located slightly to the east of the Bridge of Balgie which stands at the eastern boundary of Meggernie estate. The cemetery, according to local legend, was dedicated by St. Adamnan to St. Brandon. St. Adamnan conducted pilgrimages in Scotland in the late 600s.
