>From Stranraer and Wigtownshire Free Press February 21st 2013 " Way We Were" Thursday February 19, 1863 "Amongst the various improvements which have been going on in Wigtownshire for some time past, we observe that parties having the means of showing respect to their departed relatives, are now raising up splendid monuments over the graves of these relatives in the various church yards of the county. On Saturday last a very beautiful and chaste stone was put up in the church yard, Glenluce by Mr William McMaster, farmer, Challoch, in memory of his deceased parents and children. The stone was scuptured by Mr James McGlashan of Glasgow, and is really a beautiful piece of workmanship. Mr Glashan has also put up several other monuments at Stranraer - one in Ivy Place church yard, for Mr John McMaster, Caldons, Stoneykirk, in memory of his wife and children, and others in the New Cemetery, for various parties. We have noticed several other splendid monuments in the county, executed by Mr Mc Glashan, amongst them we may instance one to the memory of the late Rev. John J. Campbell, minister of Stoneykirk, of Aberdeen granite and placed in the church yard of that parish. It was raised by the members of the congregation and is very creditable to them. It bears a very suitable inscription and is placed in a very conspicuous part of the church yard.  We have lately seen a photographic view of this, copies of which are in the possession of several parties in the district." These stones are still standing. Diana Henry
