Hello Jim
Thank you for your Comment, If you could send me photos to illustrate I can put them onto the website.
We have altered our policy and will include death records post 1979 (the previous cut-of date). I recall seeing your daughter's headstone.
If you don't have photos we hope eventually to update all Skye (I don't live there0 but it depends on volunteers and to date only parts of the north have been covered.

Towards the loch about 12 feet away from these two stones is the stone to mark the burial place of the ashes of our elder daughter Flora who was murdered in the Lockerbie air disaster of 21 December 1988. The inscription was recently re-gilded and you are very welcome to include its picture in this album. The inscription faces the gravestones of Otta and Roger, her grandparents, shown above.
In addition between the two gravestones you already show has been placed a plaque commemorating my sister, Flora Swire, placed there by myself and my brother-in-law Francis Gardner, who himself died in December 2019. Flora Gardner (nee Swire)'s plaque was not installed until after your picture had been taken. Some of her ashes were also sprinkled where the plaque now stands. It is about 2 feet in front of the two stones you show and between them.
