The Battle of Falkirk Muir, January 1746 - between the army of Bonnie Prince Charlie and Government Forces
Here lyes interred the body of Sir ROBERT MUNRO of Foulis
Knight & Baronet, colonel of a Regiment of foot
The life he had spent in the Parliament and Camp with honour
He lost in the cause of Liberty and Religion near Falkirk XVII of January MCCCXL aged LXII
(17th January 1746 aged 62)
As long as History narrates the Battle of Fontency, his courage and conduct that day
In the command of the Highland regiment will be remembered.
Sincere and active in the service of his friends
Humane and forgiving to his enemies, generous and benevolent to all
His death was universally regretted even by those who new him
With Sir Robert Munro was killed his brother
Doctor DUNCAN MUNRO of Obsdale? aged LIX (59)
Who unarmed would not forsake his wounded brother
This side is written in Latin - I presume it to be the same inscription as is on the other side.
Renewed by Mary Seymour Munro of Fowlis in 1848
As a tribute of respect to the honoured memory of her Great Grandfather & Uncle
1972 Restored by Captain Munro of Foulis and Colonel Monro of Auchenbowie
