I am endebted to Sheila A. Scott's book Peeblesshire Monumental Inscriptions-pre 1855 for being able to provide you with the information on this extremely weathered gravestone. Fortunately I could just about still read the surname of the first person buried here which enabled me to find the full text as it states in the book. This is what it reads according to the book and what I can still just about discern:
Sacred
to the memory
of
Alexander Dunlop
late herd Hareshaw who died
at Edinburgh 2nd April 1870 aged 71 years
also
Marion Thomson
his wife who died Loanhead 17th July 1879
aged 76
also
their children
Margaret Dunlop
died Broomhill Feb 1846 aged 16
John Dunlop
died Hareshaw 16th July 1846 aged 14 years.
I'm assuming that Marion Thomson was the daughter of John Thomson and Margaret Kay, mentioned on the previous post and on the adjacent gravestone.
