• Notes

  Inset in the E. wall (of Kinnaird House), immediately N. of the opening, there is a carved panel of yellowish freestone 1 ft. 4 in. high by 1 ft. 1 in. wide. It bears a cabled roundel enclos ing a shield parted per pale and charged: Dexter, a saltire, on a chief two mullets; sinister, a heart over the initials M D, on a chief two mullets. The shield divides the initials R B, and above it is the date 1602 divided by the letter M; these letters evidently refer to the Rev. Robert Bruce of Kinnaird, second son of Sir Alexander Bruce of Airth and builder of the first parish church of Larbert (p.157). The arms are his and those of his wife Martha, daughter of Sir George Douglas of Pittendriech,2 whom he married in 1590, her initials being added to the Douglas heart in the sinister half.
