The gateposts are much older than the cemetery and I believe they have been relocated from Perth's Tay Street. (The posts and railings there were replaced by a flood wall.) The inscription on this one says "The old Perth bridge, destroyed by a flood A.D. 1621, spanned the river near this point, and in the neighbourhood was fought the "Battle of the Brig" A.D. 1547." The other post describes an event in 1633 when the King did something on a floating stage of timber on the Tay. (The inscription was hard to read when I was there, but should be readable in different light.)
