This memorial, in the kirkyard of Image, depicts three sisters from the farmstead of Auchenvennel (in Glen Fruin); for further details, such as the text of the inscription, and for the folklore that has grown up around the carving, see Image The present view is intended to provide further context, showing the position of the carving on the eastern side of Image (the carved figures are also visible in that photograph, at the extreme left). The arch in the background is now part of the Buchanan Memorial; it is a fragment of the 1763 church that stood here, the predecessor of the present-day church.
