Not far from the seaward wall is a group of tombstones commemorating ministers of the Episcopal Church. One of these stones marks the resting place of Mr JOHN TROUP of Muchalls, who died in 1776. Mr TROUP, along with his fellow clergymen, Mr JOHN PETRIE of Drumlithie and Mr ALEXANDER GREIG of Stonehaven, defiantly contravened the Act which prohibited Episcopal ministers from preaching to more than 4 persons at a time. Consequently, all three gentlemen were imprisoned in the Old Tollbooth at Stonehaven for six months during the winter of 1748 - 1749. It is said that Mr TROUP made his personal protest by boldly piping the Jacobite air " Over the Water to Charlie " as he was led to prison. Regardless of their confinement, the three clergymen continued to minister to their faithful followers and regularly read matins and evensong to those who gathered below the window of their cell. Baptisms too were conducted, the infants being carried in creels through knee deep water and over rocks to be held up to the bars of the shore side window
