This memorial marked the site of three Covenanters' graves at Little Earnock. From memory, it was painted grey in 1988 when a Covenanter Trail was publicised to mark the 350th anniversary of the signing of the covenant in the kirkyard of Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh in 1638. By the time I took this photo, it had already been vandalised and shortly after was taken into protection by the local council. It was relocated in the Hamilton Old Parish Churchyard in 1995 - see http://www.covenanter.org.uk/Earnock/ I assume that [[2275703]] was built to replace this memorial.
