of which was lately dug a tombstone the characters
on which are legible, viz. a blank Shield supported
by the loose and staff of a cross erect and a Sword
on the sinister side thereof with this inscription "Here lyes perys of Cokburne
and his wyfe marjory". Nisbet says that Piers de Cockburn of Henderland was the

-tional anecdote that the last of that name in possession was an outlaw and hanged
over his own gate". Armstrongs Companion to his maps P. [Page] 65.
