at Kirk Lane. The stone, a flat oblong Caithness flag, level
with the ground, had inscribed on it, " Ninian Hill of Lambhill,

the City Magistrates, as the custodians of the burial ground — to
place a red granite slab, of the prescribed limit of one foot in

the granite slab having inscribed on it the names and years during
which they lived, of the representatives, in the male line, of the
Hill family.
