My favourite stone . . . . . and what a tale it tells.
Erected by John and Alexander Muirs
Lawful sons of Robert Muir and Elizabeth Morrison
Indwellers in the Baroney of Quarole
In memory of James Muir their brother
Who lost his life (with another of the hands)
At Hispaniola in Mounta Christa River (going over the Barr for fresh water)
Out of the longboat belonging to the Prince Ferdinand.
Andrew Anderson, Captain were taken up and interred by him on the the 9th May MDCCLXI (1761)
The deceast James Muir was born the 25th of June MDCCCXLII (1742)
In the old town of Stenhouse in this Parish
 
 
I don't know whether this stone has been refurbished in recent years, if not, it's in near perfect condition and I imagine looks as good today as it did when erected. |

I think seeing this one headstone has been worth setting up the forum for!
It's got everything, and for what I assume is a 250 year old headstone it's in very good condition.
