Horseshoe and leaf symbolism



Decorated gravestone in the parish section. This is actually a MacDougall gravestone as well, but not members of the MacDougalls of Dunollie. It is a nicely decorated stone and features some different symbols:

Horseshoe= Protection against evil, luck.
Leaves=Regeneration, immortality.

Probably a family of some status, the stone is well decorated.
