OS Map Ref: NT 270 730
Believed to be one of a number of listed (on UKNIWM) but not described memorials to Royal Scots in St Giles Cathedral. I believe this to be one of:-
UKNIWM 8797, 8798, 8799, 8800, 8801, 8802, 8803, 8804, 8805 or 8806
Very difficult (for me) to get a readable photo in the low light conditions of the cathedral so here is a full transcription as well.
