Abstract


The Capelrig Cross is the shaft of a free-standing cross in its original socket which has been removed to Kelvingrove Museum. The decoration on all four surfaces is double beaded interlaced work which is poorly preserved. The ruined chapel of St Blane was a plain rectangular building. A nearby boulder is carved with two incised stones. A recumbant slab in the churchyard at Kilmaronock displays a cross, a sword, circles and a series of squares.
