Erected by his sorrowing widow to the memory of John MacKenzie, late piper to the Marquis of Breadalbane for the period of 28 years who died at Greenhill Cottage, Munlochy on the 24th of April 1864 aged 68. He was a real specimen of the true hearted Highlander. Esteemed and respected by all who knew him. He was known as Chief and father of all the Highland Pipers and had taught upwards of 40 young men. After a long and painful illness which he bore with Christian resignation, he fell asleep in Jesus. Also to the memory of her beloved son Donald, late Pipe Major 25th Reg. who died at Greenhill Cottage on the 13th of April 1860 aged 30. Universally regretted by all who knew him.
