This granite monument is in memory of Alexander Peden, a minister who wandered the hills of Southern Scotland preaching in the times of the Covenanters. The monument stands in a railed enclosure at the entrance to the old cemetery at Barrhill Road, along with 2 more stones to Peden and 2 stones to 3 more martyrs.
