Tomb of Sir George Bruce in Bruce of Carnock burial vault, Culross Abbey Church, Culross, Fife Culross Abbey Church was part of the Cistercian Abbey founded in 1217 by Malcolm, Earl of Fife. It was converted into a parish church in 1663, the rest of the abbey having lain derelict since the end of the 16th century. Sir George Bruce died in 1625. The kneeling statues are his children. The inscription reads: THIS IS SIR GEORGE BRUCE OF CARNOCK/ HIS LADY HIS THREE SONS AND FIVE DAUG/HTERS. THIS TOMB WAS PROVIDED BY GEORG/E BRUCE OF CARNOCK HIS ELDEST SON. The Bruces of Culross (later 'of Carnock'), who built Culross Palace, were the most important family in the area. They were responsible for developing the local coal industry before the end of the 16th century Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.

I am trying to identify the text of the inscription on the monument erected to the memory of Sir George Bruce of Carnock (died 6 May 1625) and his family, and its history. Can anyone help?

I can, but I don't see the monumental inscription that I am interested in. Perhaps you would be kind enough to give me a transcription, with a source reference if you have one.
