WMR 72120
OS Map Ref NX 56247 93191
Located on outside wall of Carsphairn Parish Church
Although the memorials inside the church are listed on UKNIWM, this unlisted memorial is around the back of the church on the outside wall. The minister was not aware of its existence.
The lettering is heavily oxidised and difficult to read therefore I offer a transcription.
In loving memory of
