18th Century grave-slabs, Longside kirkyard
The left-hand slab commemorates John Robertson (d. 1719), his wife Elspeth (d. 1727) and other family members. Note the full complement of memento mori symbols: mort-head (skull) and crossbones, 'deid bell', sexton's tools and hourglass. The right-hand slab is too eroded to make out.
