REAY SCULPTURED STONES
Near the south west corner of the burial ground lies Barbara Campbell who died in 1760: she was the wife of Alexander Sinclair "taksman of Strubster". The dexter shield for Sinclair is quartered by an engrailed cross, 1 and 4 a lumphad, 2 and 3 the lion rampant. The sinister shield is quartered, 1 and 4 a lymphad, 2 and 3 the gyronny of eight associated with Campbell heraldry.
I n the row east of Alexander Sinclair's stone is another with Campbell arms. This commemorates James Campbell of Shurrery who died 16th May 1738 and bears a single shield quartered, 1 and 4 a galley with three oars or "sweeps", 2 and 3 the gyronny: the quarterings are transposed here. James Campbell of Shurrery was a MacIver Campbell.
