Have you visited the grave yard at clachan duich ( think that's the name) near dornie? There's an old graveyard and a newer one behind it. We have taken several photos around the old graveyard.

I was in Dornie of the summer of 2012 and did visit Clachan Duich but only very brief as the weather was terribly wet,unfortunatly my partner Patricia was not as keen as i was to be camping so we headed back towards Fort William.Thank you Tartan Footprint,i will be going back hopefully this summer.How new is the new cemetery? i never got a chance to look.
I'm sure we have many photos, it was a cracking day when we were there ill dig them out and post them on she clan MacRae page
