Of the two heads visible on NS2776 : The Farquhar/McKelvie Memorial, this is the one on the right. See NS2776 : Duncan Street Burial Ground for context; the memorial is on the far left in that view.
Duncan Street Burial Ground

This burial ground, created on land feued in 1816, is adjacent to the earlier Inverkip Street Burial Ground – Link – but it was, at first, separate from it (see Link for a more detailed history). An original entrance from Duncan St was closed after that street was levelled; an opening to the adjacent Inverkip Street Burial Ground was then created instead. "Renfrewshire MI pre-1855" (vol 1) has all of the inscriptions. The Duncan Street Burial Ground is discussed in the last few pages of LinkExternal link (PDF).
