"Erected by their parents in memory of James Stewart Allan who died from drowning 28th Oct 1887 ___ ____"

James was from Holland and drowned with Peter Harcus, Doggerboat when transporting a cow to Eday.

He was the son of James Allan and Ann Drummond. His father and brother, Robert Allan, were also in the boat.

It is possible that the gravestone is also for James's brother, John Allan, who was born in 1879.
