Mural tablet (Stirling of Law burial place)
This stone is set in the southern wall of the Image, at the south-eastern corner of the kirkyard of Image See the first of those links for the text on the tablet, which identifies 1658 as the year in which the enclosure was erected. At the top is what appears to be a monogram, set in what is perhaps intended to be a miller's rind symbol (alternatively, the similarity may be accidental).

Carved stone (Stirling of Law burial place)
This stone is on the northern side of the Image, at the south-eastern corner of the kirkyard of Image (see that link for the reference cited below). The stone is illustrated and described on pages 104-105 of [Bruce], written in 1893: "over the doorway is carved the arms of Stirling and Maxwell per pale with the initials WS & MM 1659". These are arranged as follows: "W" above "M" above "16" to the left of the combined arms, and "S" above "M" above "59" to the right (except that the figure 39 has been carved where the "S" used to be; however, that letter had already worn away by the time Bruce wrote his book). In the background, on the right, is the top and the "winged soul" (these are often misinterpreted as cherubs) of a mural tablet associated with the same enclosure: Image

Burial place of Stirling of Law
This is the south-eastern corner of the kirkyard of Image Although the wall on the right is in shadow, it should be possible to discern that it incorporates a mural tablet: Image Its inscription reads: "THIS IS THE BURIAL PLACE APOYNTED FOR WILLIAM STIRLING OF LAW HIS WYFE AND CHILDREIN MAY 26 1658" John Bruce, on pages 104-105 of his "History of the Parish of West or Old Kilpatrick" (1893), says that "a mural tablet in Stirling of Law's tomb gives the date of 1658 as time of erection, while over the doorway is carved the arms of Stirling and Maxwell per pale with the initials W S & M M 1659"; he also includes an illustration of the latter stone, which is located above an opening on the left side-wall of this area, and which is shown at Image (On the initials WS and MM that are carved into both stones, see below.) An effigy of a knight, which is now attached to the church wall, had previously been located here, although it may earlier have been inside the church itself: Image The lands of Law (Image) adjoined those of Edenbarnet (or Edinbarnet) and Craigbanzeoch; "the adjoining lands of Law formed part of the lordship of Drumry and were acquired by William Stirling, first of Glorat, in 1528, from Sir James Hamilton of Finnart with consent of his spouse, Margaret Livingston, heiress of the Drumry and neighbouring lands, on 28th November, 1530" [John Bruce, on page 287 of his "History of the Parish of West or Old Kilpatrick" (1893)]. After giving the details of intervening generations of the family, the same work notes that William, fifth of Law, one of the commissioners of the county, married Margaret Maxwell of Dargavel (hence the WS and MM initials on the mural tablet). He left three daughters, but the direct line of male descent ended in him. At some time (a number of years before Bruce's book was written), there had been a Law Tower, but the stones from its ruins were carted away by the tenant of Law Farm, and some of them were used in making repairs at Old Edenbarnet House. The Pont/Blaeu map of the Lennox, published in 1654, shows Law, with Edinbarnet marked nearby. Roy's Military Survey of Scotland (1740-50s) also includes it, as Lawes, near Inbarnett (Edinbarnet). Roy also shows a Muirlee nearby, which is depicted as a ruin (Muirlees) on the first-edition OS map (c.1860). In the background, on the right, is Dumbarton Road, the main road through Old Kilpatrick.

Mural tablet (MacNair family)
This large tablet is located near the south-eastern corner of the kirkyard of Image (see that item for the references cited below), and is set in the southern boundary wall, next to the Image The tablet is described in the list of pre-1855 inscriptions (see the references) as being of reredos type. The text has largely flaked off, and only fragments remain. However, the tablet is a memorial for the MacNair (or McNair) family of Kilbowie. [Bruce], on page 284, gives as much of the inscription as was legible in the 1890s; readers may spot that a "for" seems to be missing ("burying place appointed Robert McNair"), but I have given the text just as it appears in Bruce's book: "MEMENTO MORI This is the burying place of Robert McNair, Portioner in Wester Kilbowie and Dalmure, who died July 18th, 1675, aged 64 years. Thomas McNair, late Tenant in Barns of Clyde, who died June [ ], 17[ ], aged 74. This is the burying place appointed Robert McNair, Tenant in the Mains of Scotstoun, his wife and children, A.D. MDC[ ]" Kilbowie: c.Image Dalmure: now spelled Dalmuir (Image). Barns of Clyde: see Image Scotstoun: c.Image At the top of the tablet is an hourglass, flanked by Latin text: Image

MacNair mural tablet (detail)
This is the top of the memorial shown in Image; see that image for more details. The Latin text flanking the hourglass is "Timeto Deum Tempore" (not English "Time to ...").

Old Kilpatrick Summer Fete
This picture was taken just before 1 o'clock, when the procession was approaching the Church Halls, which are located just across the road from the photographer's position. The location shown here is Dumbarton Road, the main road through Old Kilpatrick. (I had not come here to see this event, and knew nothing of its background; however, according to someone who was also visiting the kirkyard, the future of the above-mentioned Church Halls is uncertain.)

The Auchentoshan Enclosure
This enclosure with iron railings is located in the kirkyard of Image, and is just to the south-east of the church. It contains some seventeenth-century stones, shown and described in Image

The Auchentoshan Enclosure (detail)
These old stones are located within Image; see that picture for context. On page 105 of John Bruce's "History of the Parish of West or Old Kilpatrick" (1893) is a drawing of the two stones (their tops are at the lower right in my photograph). The markings on the nearer stone are still easy to pick out, with the sun behind them. The other stone is harder to decipher; the book shows a shield (visible in the photo), with the letters "WH.I" above (the W and H are still faintly visible), and the date 1666 at the top (not at all visible in the photo). William Hamilton of Auchentoshan married Jean, daughter of John Stirling of Law. The 1666 stone was his tombstone (see page 255 of Bruce's book). The initials would presumably have read "WH.IS", for Hamilton and his wife. The nearer stone has, on its lower half (which is on the left in my photo), a shape with a shield-shaped centre, and with a heart inside that shield; the arms of Hamilton of Barns have similar features (see [Bruce], page 279). The lands of Auchentoshan were located ESE of here; from the seventeenth to the mid-twentieth century, Auchentoshan House stood at Image The name remains familiar through the presence of the nearby Image

Skull-and-crossbones gravestone
This old stone is to the right of the short part that leads to Image from the kirkyard's main entrance, which is on Dumbarton Road. The railings in the left background are those of Image A leaflet published in 1980 (see below for citation), in its description of Old Kilpatrick Parish Church, probably alludes to this stone where it says: "on entering the church grounds, note the two old gravestones, one of which has a 'skull and cross-bones' inscription. These were found in the foundations during the demolition of the old church". This refers to work carried out in 1812, when the present-day parish church was built in more or less the same place as its predecessor. The leaflet also notes that the present church is "at least the third to occupy the site". [The leaflet, which is useful and informative, and which cost 30p when it was published in 1980, is called "The Archaeological Sites and Monuments of Clydebank District". It was written by June Craigie, and issued by Clydebank District Libraries on behalf of the Clydebank Local History Society.]
