Inscription
Sacred to the memory of ROBERT HAMILTON of Birkenshaw who died 10th Sept 1707 aged 66 years.
Nor wealth, nor want, nor youth, nor age, can death's strong arm arrest. Some with a sudden stroke he smites, like him who here doth rest. Through life beloved, in death bewailed, his dust in hope here lies Till Jesus shall in clouds appear And bid the dead arise. Ye mortals, here the warnig voice, That from the tomb doth cry, Make haste, prepare, to mercy fly, To Jesus live and die.
This memorial is quoted in the book: The martyr graves of Scotland: travels of a country minister, Page 111
