Remembering Rev William Guthrie, Covenanter
William Guthrie was one of the preachers who were outed when they refused to accept the ruling of King Charles I that he, not Jesus Christ, was the head of the church. It led to nearly 30 years of bitter conflict. The stone, erected in 1854, tells us:
IN MEMORY OF THE REV WILLIAM GUTHRIE FIRST MINISTER OF THIS PARISH AND AUTHOR OF “THE CHRISTIAN’S GREAT INTEREST”. BORN 1620. ORDAINED 1644. EJECTED BY PRELATIC PERSECUTION 1664. WORN OUT BY LABOURS AND SUFFERINGS HE DIED 1665 IN THE CHURCH OF BRECHIN.

Covenanters in Fenwick Churchyard
Fenwick was a stronghold of the Covenanters who fought in Scotland's religious struggles of the late 17th century. The churchyard contains a number of graves and memorials, all marked with the green plaques shown in this shot. The inscriptions bear witness to the harshness of the treatment meted out by the government forces.

Symbolic Stone in Fenwick Graveyard
This beautifully carved stone marks the grave of Jean Taylor, who died in 1727. The tools shown in the central panel suggest that she came from a wright's family. The two angels indicate life after death. They carry the trumpets of resurrection and one also holds a pen. The hour-glass, skull and crossed bones represent human mortality.

Replacement Stone for Fenwick Covenanters
The original stone was renewed in 1829 and replaced with a modern one in 2009. The inscription reads:
HERE LIES
The dust of JOHN FERGUSHILL
and JOHN WOODBURN who
were shot at MIDLAND by
NISBET and his party 1685
When bloody prelates
Once these nations pest
Contrived that cursed
Self-contradicting test
These men for Christ
Did suffer Martyrdom
And here there dust lies
Waiting till he come
It sums up the strength of feeling for the suffering endured by ordinary people for their religious beliefs during the infamous "Killing Times".
