To the memory of James Guthrie, related to an upright Judge amoung the inhabitants of Dundee, who, when a boy
was sent to a distance by his father, Mr John Guthrie, pastor of a church in Dundee. He served his apprenticeship
to merchandise at Stockholm ; and, when freed, he traded with many nations. He married Christian Scott,
descended from Baillie John Scott. His pious wife, sorrowing, placed this monument at her own expense. He died
in the calends of April, in the year of the Christian era 1710, and of his age 46, leaving his wife and seven of her
sons surviving |
