    3. In the grave yard at the Kiel Church, Lochaline, there are three McEachern stones commemorating: 1. Angus McEachern late tenant of Knock, who departed this life 20 August 1827 aged 70 (so b ca 1757) This stone laid by his son Archibald. 2. Hugh McEachern late tenant in Savary who died 17 Dec 1822 aged 67 (so b ca 1755) Erected by his sons Donald and Angus) 3. Hugh McKaecharn - Here lys the corps of Hugh McKaecharn who died July 6 1761 aged 46. All three stones are over neighbouring graves, so it seems they might all have been from the one family. I believe that Angus is the father of Hugh b ca 1781 and Archibald b 1791, both of whom emigrated to Victoria, Australia (Hugh arr Sydney 1839, Archibald much later, around 1850 after operating a business at Gorbels, LKS for many years) Hugh and Angus above, being born around 2 years apart, are probably brothers. And if I really let my imagination run then the other Hugh above may be a father or an Uncle or even a grandfather to Hugh and Angus. But I don't have any proof of any of this. Is there anyone who recognises any of these names who can perhaps give me a lead as to where they slot in? Don Sutherland
