This is the southern edge of the kirkyard. For the church itself, see Image The dark upright stone in the right foreground has the following inscription: "erected in memory of Alexander Lennox, Miller, Malig, who died 15th December 1828, in the Seventy first year of his age" (there are other members of the Lennox family buried in the same kirkyard; one of them is a later Alexander Lennox, who was also associated with Malig Mill). The Image can still be seen in Helensburgh, but the mill itself pre-dates the creation of that town. The upright stone obscured by the upper-left corner of Alexander Lennox's gravestone is the memorial of William Muir, a smith; it has a number of interesting symbols on its far side: Image The three flat stones at the left and centre commemorate some ministers of this parish, and their relatives.
