"To the memory of John Nisbit of Hardhill who suffered Martyrdom at the Grass Market Edinburgh Dec. [December] 4th, 1685. Animated by a spirit to which genuine religion alone could give birth, the pure flame of Civil and Religious Liberty can keep alive. He manfully struggled for a Series of Years to stem the tide of national degeneracy and liberate his Country from the tyrannical aggression of the perjured House of Stuart. His conduct in Arms at Pentland, Drumclog and Bothwell in opposition to pretatic encroachment in defense of Scotland's Covenanted Reformation is recorded in the annals of those oppressive times. His Remains lie at Edinburgh but the Inhabitants of this his native Parish have caused this stone to be erected." |
