Ancient grave slabs, Tarves Kirk
From left to right we see the grave slabs of: 1) Agnes and Isobel Chalmers. If you use your imagination, you can just make out the Chalmers' arms of: Argent a fesse gules in chief a lion issuing from the shoulders from the top of the fesse sable; 2) Thomas Gardyne, minister at Tarves sometime around 1630; 3) William Craig and Marjory Reith; 4) Thomas Craig and Mariorie Ridell. The Craigs were apparently heraldic officials, but nothing more appears to be known about them and their arms (ermine, on a fess a dog's head between two crescents) appear to be unrecorded. For more on these intriguing objects, see: Epitaphs and Inscriptions from Burial Grounds and Old Buildings in the North East of Scotland (vol. 2, p. 349) by Alexander Jervise, publ. Edinburgh 1879 and available as an e-book or free download from archive.org. Note the "cherry cocking" (decorative chips of coloured stone embedded in the mortar) in the wall of the church behind.
