------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In memory of Alexander Peden
(A native of Sorn)
That faithful minister of Christ, who,
For his unflinching adherence to the
Covenanted Reformation in Scotland, was
Expelled by tyrant rulers, from his parish
Of New Luce, imprisoned for years on the
Bass Rock by his persecutors, and hunted
For his life on the surrounding mountains
And moors till his death on 26th, January 1686,
In the 60th year of his age; and here,
At last, his dust reposes in peace, awaiting
The Resurrection of the Just.
"Such were the men these hills who trode,
Strong in the love and fear of God,
Defying through a long dark hour
Alike the graft and rage of power."
Erected in 1891

William Simpson's gravestone at Cumnock
A headstone in Cumnock Old Cemetery at Barrhill Road to ‘Winsome Willie’ Simpson (1758-1815) a friend of Robert Burns.
Here “Winsome Willie” lies, whose worth,
In BURNS woke equal love;
And Death, which wrenched the ties on earth
Has knit them now above.
