Covenanter's Grave, Glentrool, Caldons

The Covenanter's Grave in Glentrool, Caldons, dates back to 1827. It is a square walled enclosure made of rubble with granite slab coping, containing a replacement headstone memorial from 1984. Inside the eastern wall, there is a polished granite panel inscribed with a dedication that reads: "In memory of six martyrs who suffered at this spot for their attachment to the covenanted cause of Christ in Scotland 23 January 1685. Erected by the voluntary contributions of a congregation who waited on the ministrations of the Rev Gain Rowatt of Whithorn Lord's Day Aug XIX, MDCCCXXVII." The lower margin of the panel notes that "A commemoration service was held here on the 15 July 1928 and thereafter this memorial was restored."

The replacement granite headstone within the enclosure features a replica inscription on the north face that states: "Here lyes James and Robert Duns, Thomas and John Stevensons, James McClive, Andreu McCall, who were surprised at prayer in this house, by Colnell Douglas, Lieutnant Livingston, and" and on the south face, it continues: "Cornet James Douglas, and by them most impiously and cruelly murthered for their adherence to Scotlands Reformation Covenants National and Solemn League 1685."
