The text on this richly decorated stone reads:
Here lyes
William Cairns
son to Robert Cairns who
died the XV of
may 1723 years
and of his age
the....??.....year
And on the other side of the stone there is more text. It reads as follows:
Sacred
to
the memory of
James Stevenson, Roadmaker
who died Nov 9
1795
Isobel Mitchell his spouse
and James Christian and Isobel (??, and educated guess, it could also say Isorit?)
their children also.
And further down:
James Stevenson mason
and
Margaret Stevenson
Their children are interned
here.
This stone is positioned next to the fallen stone shown here, of James Cairns. I'm not sure how James Stevenson is related to them.
