017.04 | "There appears to have been another place of burial situated behind the present county building at Stonehaven. According to tradition, it was appropriated for the internment of those who died of the plague - an idea which is so far borne out by traces of an inscription upon one of the tombstone dated 1608, which shews that the person commemorated had either died of, or during the time of the Pest(ilence)." (New. Stat Act [Statistical Account] - 446-7) "These tomb stones were discovered some years ago in a garden a few paces of their original site. The tradition of the place is, that they were erected to the memory of those who had died of the plague, and it is supported by the fact, that on the oldest stone, although much defaced, the words 'of pest' at the upper left hand corner, are still quite legible." (Black Book of Kincardineshire P. [Page] 178.) Here lyes ane Honest Man Magnus Tailiovr Seyman gvha Depairtit in November - of Pest.
