Description
A memorial to 'John Smart late gardener at Barras who died 13th Feb 1798 aged 43 yrs' (the tools at the top of the stone of which the spade is familiar as a memeto mori thus here function as a trade emblem) an inscription is appended to his wife 'Christian Masson who died in 1847' two other commemorations follow to an Alexander Smart 1913 and to his wife Elizabeth Glegg Burnett 1926. Like other stones in this database with inscriptions produced from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 20th centuries it shows an interesting modification some would say a deterioration in the standard lettering style.
