Description
The monument commemorates Margaret Drummond, who died in 1647. A copy of the original 1647 inscription reads: "HERE LIES THE CORPES OF MARGARET DRUMMOND THIRD DAUGHTER OF THE LAIRD (OF INVERMAY) AND (SPOUSE TO) SIR GEORGE MUSCHET OF BURNBANKE: HER AGE 26: DEPARTED THIS LIFE IN THE WISITATION WITH HER THREE CHILDREN AT BURNBANKE THE 10 OF AUGUST 1647." The monument is contained within a small railed area. The original house of Burnbank stood nearby; although no visible remains exist, traces of its layout are subtly indicated within the surrounding plantations. The monument's statutory address is Muschet Tombstone, Burnbank.
