Location: St. Andrews Blackadder Church, St. Andrews Street, North Berwick.

The church has undergone substantial renovation in recent years, so this memorial can now be found in one of the "side rooms". One is used as a quiet Chapel, and the other is a more general meeting room. These photos were taken some time ago so I can't remember which this was in.

"In Loving Memory of Captain Francis Grant Suttie RN. Died Feb 28 1884. Erected by his widow and children."
