Monument Inscription

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE
SIR ROBERT POLLOK, OF UPPER POLLOK, BART.
WHO, FROM FILIAL DUTY, AND IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE DYING REQUEST OF HIS FATHER,
SHEWED A RARE EXAMPLE TO POSTERITY,
IN DENYING HIMSELF ALMOST ALL
THE LUXURIES AND COMFORTS OF LIFE,
AND GREATLY EXCLUDING HIMSELF FRON SOCIETY FOR MANY YEARS, TO RETRIEVE AND HAND DOWN
TO POSTERITY, THE OLD FAMILY ESTATE,
WHICH. WITH RARE PERSERVERANCE,
HE HAD THE SATISFACTION TO ACCOMPLISH
A FEW YEARS BEFORE HIS DECEASE:
WHEN HE WAS RECALLED FROM THIS LIFE,
DESERVEDLY REGRETTED
BY ALL HIS AQUAINTANCES AND FRIENDS,
BEING
A LEARNED, PIOUS, AND HONEST MAN.
