Dear Sir,
The A75 road between Castle Douglas and Stranraer, in South West Scotland, has been regarded by some as the most scenic in the country. Certainly it passes through countryside with a history not to be forgotten.
One prominent reminder is a near-60 foot monument on Boreland Hill, above Gatehouse of Fleet, which, since 1842, has carried the inscription: ‘To the memory of the Revd Samuel Rutherford... in admiration of his eminent talents, extensive learning, ardent piety, ministerial faithfulness… in the cause of civil and religious liberty.’
