42

The inscription on this table slab is currently illegible, but there are three very prominent raised ovals. Based on the photo taken in about 2000 (courtesy of DJ Johnston-Smith), this may  possibly be the stone marked as number 48 in the 1969 list, which gives the inscription as:  Thos McFarlan in Inveruglas 28.3.1722, w, chn TM KM 1725; Wm Tod; (shield).

However, although this stone does mention William Tod and Thomas McFarlane, the wording does not match that above, and the decoration is of three raised ovals rather than a shield. Writing visible in the 2000 photo includes:

...the...72.../ this is the burial .../ appointed for Wileam /Tod and Margey Gib.. / his spouse

tellinears to willeyam /this ston belonges to / Thomas McFarlane
