Full Description
Memorial, erected in 1602 by Alexander Annand, the laird of Auchterellon. It comprises three three pilastered panels. On the left is a memorial to Alexander Annand who died in 1601 and his wife Margaret Fraser who dies in August 1602. On the right is a memorial to Alexander Annand and Margaret Cheyne, though their dates of death were never inscribed.
