About the memorial: Gravestone of old red sandstone set on a plinth. It has a curved decorative top with quatrefoil flowers. This gravestone is unexpected, as Inchcailloch has been depopulated since around 1796. However the little Chapel served the various islands in the Loch which were populated. Although the chapel was disused from around 1770 (when a new Church was built on the mainland) the last burial in the churchyard was not until 1947. As can be seen Archibald was very much from an island family, born on Inchfad and living on Inchcruin in 1901.The island can be visited by daily ferry from Luss and Balmaha. Pte Davie (39269 Scots Guards, formerly S/14559 Gordon Highlanders) died at the age of 30. He was married to Annie Baird Davie and they lived on the adjacent mainland, at the village of Buchanan. His body was never found and he is commemorated on the Tyne Cot Memorial, Belgium. Because this was so unexpected there is no photograph. There is no postcide as there is no population on the island.
