NT 76659 71896 This small collection was assessed November – December 2011. It includes a number of stones that can be related to various in situ windows. For example, the choir windows and the W window, which have a similar moulding profile. Some fragments of tomb stones remain, as well as one large broken tomb slab. The upper part of the slab has part of an inscription still remaining. This reads:
'HEAR LYES
ROBERT SIMPSONE
WHO [D]EIED THE 3
OF SE[P]T 166? AND ……
AG[E] ............ '
The lower part of the slab is badly eroded, but still has an hourglass, crossed bones and a skull worked in low-relief on its lower section.
This and other inventories of carved stones at Historic Scotland’s properties in care are held by Historic Scotland’s Collections Unit. For further information please contact hs.collections@scotland.gsi.gov.uk
