(3.) 

 On a Stone in the external wall of the church, near the south-west 

 door, on which are sculptured three figures ia costume — two 

 men with a female in the middle, — 



We Three Served God, lived in His Fear, 



And Loved Him who Bought us Dear; 

 and on a scroll or sash across the breast of each of the male 



figures, 



Vive Memor Lethi. 



The costume of the figures resembles that of the Queen Anne 

 or early Hanoverian period, but is probably later. Fashions 

 changed but slowly in the country districts of Scotland before 

 the present century. It is not known who the personages re- 

 presented were.
