    3. > Is there recorded anywhere who commissioned the most recent engraving of a stone? ** The only possibility might be the firm of monumental scultors whose company name is often inscribed at the bottom of the stone. However, from past experience, the company's own records may not be specific - e.g. their accounts might have a record of an additional engraving on a stone, with the bill payable by a named person, but the account may not make clear WHICH stone it refers to! In addition, many of these companies destroyed old records, instead of passing them to the local archives (you could try Aberdeen City Archives, just in case). Gordon.
