Cross-shaft from Closeburn.- In the grounds of the Grierson Museum at Thornhill is a cross-shaft or slab, which was taken from the site at the village of Closeburn. The slab is of white sandstone, and is 3 feet 6 inches high, 13 inches wide by 7 inches deep at the top, and 14 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches at bottom. The right sude is ornamented with the scroll foliage involving birds pecking at the fruit, which is so marked a feature of the Ruthwell Cross and other local example.
