Here lie interred the remains of William Baillie Esq of Rosehall, who departed this life in the 75 year of his age AD 1779. To the masculine energies of a clear and comprehensive mind he united that happy equanimity of temper and suavity of manners which always render their influence efficacious and acceptable. As a christian his respect to the institutions of religion was uniformly decorous and exemplary. The talents, wisdom and vigour displayed in the more public transactions of his life were acknowledged to be unrivalled, while in private life, whether viewed in the character of husband, parent, master or friend he was ever found mild and indulgent, true to his word and constant in his attachments and in reward for his merits it was his happiness to have such a numerous offspring liberally and honourably established in the world. He was twice happily married and by each marriage had six sons and a daughter to Catharine, daughter of James Sutherland Esq of Clyne who died in 1749 and interred here. Pious, meek and prudent she discharged with fidelity the duties of a christian of a wife, mother and head of a family, so as to endear her memory to her surviving relatives and friends. He married 2. Mary daughter of the Hon G I Hugh MacKay of Bighouse. To a pleasing and graceful exterior she added the charm of engaging manners heightened by the exercise of those domestic virtues which gain esteem and secure affection. She died in Peterhead in 1808 lamented by all who knew her and particularly by the poor. Here also is deposited the body of his son Major General MacKay Hugh Baillie who died in the 54th year of his age AD 1805. This gentleman like the greater part of his family embraced the Military life in which his profession merits had repeatedly gained him the thanks of his superiors in command. After a series of arduous and honourable service at different periods in North America, in the West Indies and in Ireland which last country he had the honour to serve during the late rebellion as Colonel Commandant of the Reay Fencible Regiment. He retire upon the reduction of that Corps with a constitution greatly impaired by the fatigues of duty and the influence of various climates. Upon his death society had to lament the loss of so cheerful and interesting companion, a warm and generous friend, an elegant accomplished gentleman.

Alas of his 12 sons. Their remains at the date of the completion of this structure but one great grandson to rescue the name from oblivion.
This monument is erected as a tribute of filial piety and brotherly affection by instructions in the last will and testament of Lieutenant Colonel Lamington Baillie of the Honourable East India Company ‘s’ Service who perished in the wreck of the Skeldon Castle, India ? On her outward passage in 1807. Erected under and by the directions of Dr John Borthwick Oricurist Col Baillie’s Executor and completed in 1821.
