A funeral procession walks along the road, with mourners gathered near the church and others following behind a hearse. Large trees frame the scene in the foreground.

A vintage black‑and‑white photograph of a baby sitting in a pram indoors. The baby is bundled in warm clothing and holding a small soft toy. The pram has a folding hood and is positioned beside a window with patterned glass. The image has visible age marks and scratches. The baby is Mary, daughter of the photographer Duncan Macpherson and his wife Margaret. It was probably taken outside her father's pharmacy which he opened in Kyle of Lochalsh when he moved to the area in 1911.
