The accompanying text reads, 'The funeral of the late Major-General Sir Hector Macdonald took place in Dean cemetery, Edinburgh, between six and seven am on Monday, on the arrival of the train bringing the coffin from London. Very few persons beside the relatives of the deceased were present at the brief ceremony, at which the Rev. Dr. Whyte, senior minister of Free St. George's officiated: but later in the day, when the cemetery was open to the public, many people visited the grave, and some of them placed flowers upon it. The funeral of Sir Hector Macdonald in Edinburgh: The scene at the graveside. Drawn by F.C. Dickinson from a sketch by J. Faulds.'
