A symbolic gravestone in St Fillan’s Churchyard
The winged soul at the top of the stone is an emblem of immortality representing the human soul. The upside down anchor is a religious symbol of Hope and the five pointed stars and six petaled flowers were hex symbols of protection against evil. The two skulls are symbols of mortality. The inscription reads:
In memory of
CHARLES HAY

1813 aged 55 and
MARGT ALEXANDER
His Wife died 29th June
1838 aged 70 years
