The parish is Johnstone and the nearby village is Johnstonebridge. Note that the location in UKNIWM is wrong, this memorial is in the new graveyard at NY 097 912 and not in the village or at the village church. UKNIWM Ref: 44157 According to UKNIWM: FERGUS J CURRIE DESIGNER FERGUS J CURRIE SCULPTOR HOPE AND CURRIE BUILDER IT IS SAID THAT THE SCULPTOR'S WFE SAT FOR THE FIGURE ON THE MEMORIAL UNVEILED BY LORD LIEUTENANT OF DUMFRIESSHIRE IN 1920 You don't see so many sandstone carvings of this quality. No sculptors marks visible.
