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?

Look in the media bud

I cannot see any mention of the monumental inscription in the media.

Why cant you open the media?

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.

Ok no problem Niel
