English: Covenanters gravestones at Glencairn Churchyard, Dumfriesshire.
These gravestones within a railed enclosure are for four Covenanters, James Bennoch, Robert Edgar, John Gibson and Robert Mitchell. The four, along with Robert Grierson, were arrested by government soldiers and taken to Ingleston Mains Farm where after a short trial they were shot on 28th April 1685. Robert Grierson was buried at Balmaclellan. The best preserved inscription is on the slab on the left which reads:- HERE LYES JAMES BENNOCH SHOT DE AD BY COL.
