Inscription. |

This stone was erected in memory of Patrick Brown and Isabella Miller, late of Gallowhill, by their youngest son, David Brown, now a Master in the Royal Navy. Tho' boisterous blasts and worldly fears, Have tost me to and fro, Yet, by the order of God's decree, I harbour here below; Where now I ride at anchor safe, With many of our fleet; Expecting one day to set sail, Our Admiral, Christ, to meet. Source: Thomson. 1839. Revised by James Cocks in memory of his son James, who died 23rd February 1837 aged 7 years and 8 months.
