Airds Moss - Described

[Martyr's Grave]
Near the head of Aird's Moss, is to be seen
the monument erected to the memory of Richard
Cameron, who was here overtaken and slain by the
dragoons, on 20th July 1680. It consisted till lately
of a flat stone with his own name, and the names of
the other individuals who were slain along with
him, inscribed upon it. A more conspicuous
Memorial of his life and death was reared some
years ago from the proceeds of a collection
made at a Sermon delivered near the spot.
