Description
The Memorial to Andrew Gullin, located at Claremont, dates back to 1738 and was restored by J Whyte-Melville in 1876. The memorial features a segmental-arch-headed stone. On the front, there is an inset table with an inscription that reads: "The grave of Andrew Gullin who suffered at the gallow tree of Edinburgh July 1683. A faithful martyr here doth lie, a witness against perjury. Who cruelly was put to death, to gratify proud prelates wrath. They cut his hands ere he was dead, and after that struck off his head. To Magus Muir they did him bring, his body on a pole did hing. His blood under the altar cries for vengeance on Christ's enemies." On the rear, it is inscribed: "Erected 1738, Restored 1876, Re-erected after being accidentally broken 1885."
