Scope and Content West face of a gravestone commemorating Patrick Logan, Stenton churchyard, East Lothian This gravestone commemorates Patrick Logan, a doctor in Garvald, who died in 1742. A winged cherub symbolises the soul's ascent to heaven. Beneath is a Green Man, with antlers of greenery sprouting from his brows, who represents regeneration and renewal, an allusion to eternal life in Paradise. Sometimes grotesque, cat-like or human, the foliate face of the Green Man appears in many medieval churches across Britain. Only in post-Reformation Scotland does the Green Man appear as a gravestone ornament, copied from those in churches and abbeys. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
