Unfinished inscription

Kilmuir graveyard is better known for the memorial to Flora MacDonald. But within the burial ground is this oddity - the inscription is unfinished.
The stone marks the burial place of Charles MacArthur, one of the pipers to Clan MacDonald. According to tradition, the piper's son, who had commissioned a sculptor to letter the stone, was drowned while crossing the Minch. As the sculptor considered he was unlikely therefore to be paid, he abandoned his work, never to return.
