Memorial plaque affixed to commemorative bench placed at the gable of Seabank House, Alison and Alastair's favourite sitting place of a warm summer evening.

It reads:

In Memory of Alison Dunn 1925-2006
Irascible, volatile, irritating, irritable, endlessly optimistic and kind. Sorely missed.
"Wait a minute . . ."

and of
Alastair Dunn 1925-2007
Stubborn, contumacious, unorthodox, epicurean, limitlessly tolerant and patient. Also sorely missed.
"Aye, well. That's about the size of it."

A perfect partnership

Changed Highland Council rules meant that Alastair could not be buried in the same lair as Pop and Alison. This stone is placed on his grave, 5 yards away across the path, and also includes a memorial to Alison.
