Detail of Francis Gordon's gravestone, Kilsyth Burns and Old Parish Church
Front of the gravestone to Francis Gordon, a Covenanting soldier who fled the Battle of Kilsyth on his horse, but was seen by one of Montrose's soldiers and killed. The Battle of Kilsyth took place in 1645 however, so why is Gordon's gravestone inscribed 1646?

Francis Gordon's gravestone, Kilsyth Burns and Old Parish Church
Rear of the gravestone to Francis Gordon, a Covenanting soldier who fled the Battle of Kilsyth on his horse, but was seen by one of Montrose's soldiers and killed. The Battle of Kilsyth took place in 1645 however, but the inscription states it took place in 1646 - did they simply get it wrong?
The inscription reads:

It would be a tight fit
No parking sign painted beside a path (from a car park) in Kilsyth. Either the paintwork is older than the building on the right or it just applies to bikes and bubble cars.
