Memorial to William Muir
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 12 Sep 2012
This stone is in the older part of the kirkyard of Image The other side of the stone is rather worn, but its inscription commemorates William Muir, a smith, and his wife, Margaret Turner. The text on this side reads "W.M. / Erected in 1801". As well as emblems of mortality, the carvings include a crown (top), and some recognisable symbols of the smith's craft. The symbol at the bottom probably represents bellows. For context, see Image, where the position of this stone is picked out.
