Scope and Content Tablestone of Helen Ogilvie, Tealing Parish Church and Churchyard, Angus This tablestone features twin winged souls (symbols of the spirit ascending to Heaven after death), a cartouche with initials and two Angels of the Resurrection holding trumpets and a Crown of Righteousness, the reward which awaits the godly in Heaven. Scenes depicting believers rising from the dead on the Day of Judgement are common on many Scottish gravestones. The imagery is derived from the following text from I Corinthians 15: 51-2: 'Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed'. This shows the gravestone of Helen Ogilvie, who died in 1763. It is inscribed: 'Erected by John Proctor Baker and John/Crichton Manufacturer in Dundee In/memory of the mother Helen Ogilvie/who died 1763'. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
