The Mason’s Gravestone

This 18th century gravestone commemorates a Dunfermline mason and his wife. Not so long after it was erected, all the gravestones in the burial ground were laid flat to improve access. Then in the 1920’s it was stood up again only to fall and hide the name of the craftsman and his wife. I believe that he carved the stone himself, to show off his skill, and included these figures; the corpses of himself and his wife.
