Biography: She was descended from the MacLeays of Sand/Salachar. There is an entry for a Bella Finlayson in the Highland Council’s register of interments, from which the burial date and lair information is drawn which has discrepancies with what is on the stone. It records her death date as 6 February 1971, not 25 January 1971. This entry needs to be verified. The lair owner when she died was her son Alexander Finlayson (Ali Ruadh).
