The inscription on this Crawford gravestone in Ashkirk Parish Churchyard is interesting and amusing because the 18th century mason has carved the age of Robert Crawford as 363 when he died. The inscription reads: HERE LYES JOHN CRAWFORD LATE TENNENT IN DRAYDIAN WHO DIED MAY 26 1744 AGID 78 Also Robert Crawford Son late tenant in Branksholme Town who died Sept 7 1767 Aged 363 years For a view of the other side of the stone, see Image
