McCall
Family Burial Enclosure -- built on to the gable of the
old church ruins. |
|
1999
-- stone heavily overgrown with ivy |
|
2002
-- ivy totally removed from the stone |
|
|
The
modern granite monument above lists burials between 1833 to
1967 -- the stone tablet shown below is dated 1635 |
|
SEPVCRA
DOMINI DE CRAIGDAR
ROCH NEC NON
DOMINI DE GATLOCH
ANNO DOMINI 1635 |
The
Latin inscription above door to the McCall enclosure partially
translates thus: |
The
burial place of the Lords of Craigdarroch (NEC
NON)
Lords of Gatloch -- In the year of Our Lord 1635 |
Craigdarroch
and Gaitloch are estates within Glencairn Parish but these estates
were not in McCall hands at the dates given. It is
reasonable to assume therefore that this stone plaque has either
been misplaced or that the McCalls acquired the burial enclosure. |
