Notes - Here lies in hope of a blessed resurrection the remains of Duncan Fergusson in Laggan of Strathire, who died in the year 1784, aged 44 years. Being of the anchant family of Artandamh. This stone was erected by Peter Fergusson his son. "How loved, how valued Once, avails thee not. By whom remembered, Or by whom forgot, A heap of dust alone remains of thee. It is that thou art, It is all the proud shall be." - Balquhidder Cemetery
The stone includes the following footstones:
30A Footstone F.F., E.C., 1791
30B D MF, M N. Duncan Ferguson in Laggan of Trathire, d 1784, 44, of ancient family of Artandaubh, by s Peter.
It is suggest that "D MF" refers to Duncan Ferguson and his first wife Margaret McGregor. Or it may also be "Duncan McFinlay."
The adjacent superior stone is suggested to mean "Finlay Ferguson and his wife, EC, who died in 1791." This would refer to Finlay Ferguson who married on 11 August 1759 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Elizabeth Carmichael.
