Summary

Description

A 19th century illustration of a tombstone, found on the island of Iona, of what is thought to be a MacLeod. The source's footnote of the stone reads: "This is the largest tomb-stone in Iona, and lies in the centre of the Chancel of the Cathedral. It is cracked across in two places. The stone is massive and very hard. The figure (a MacLeod of Macleod) is sunk into the stone, and was evidently filled up (tradition says) with silver, rather handy for tourists' canes to enable them to walk off in sacrilege".

Iona, by James Frederick S. Gordon, published in 1885 by D. Bryce & son, plate 1, figure 9.
