The Cullen Memorial

The memorial is set in the eastern wall of Image; it is located immediately to the right (south) of the Image Several of those named in the inscription were involved in the medical profession. The first named is John Cullen, born at Pollokshaws in 1800, who died in 1858. He was the first of the family to settle in this area, and he worked as a surgeon. His wife was Clementina Elphinstone Fleming (also named in the inscription), and their three sons all entered the medical profession. One of them, John Fleming Cullen is named in the inscription; he died in 1889, aged 61. A grandson of the elder John Cullen was also a local doctor (the family has therefore provided at least three generations of local doctors), but he is not named in the inscription: Dr John Robert Fleming Cullen, son of John Fleming Cullen and Jane Alexander Graham, died in 1942, aged 78, at Dunfraoich, Crianlarich; his memorial is in Alexandria Cemetery. [See Donald MacLeod's "Historic Families ... of the Lennox" (1891) for additional biographical details of the first two generations of doctors.]
