I've neglected this blog a bit and although I've been taken more pictures and notes I've not had time to upload them. But here is another most impressive grave monument. In the background you can see the gate through which you reach the Main Street from the graveyard.The text on this stone reads:
Sacred
to the memory of
Andrew Bonthron H.D.
for twentyeight years the highly valued and
esteemed physician in West Linton and neighbourhood
who died at Dalziel Cottage, 15th February 1889, aged 51
This Monument is erected by many friends
who truly mourn him
Annie Carnegie, wife of
died 5th November 1899, aged 53 years
Andrew C. Bonthron, the son
died 16th October 1890, aged 25 years
The details in the cross are particularly fine and inspirational to a quilter!
