| Photos |  | Memorial to James Jameson (1739-1760) at the South Leith Parish Church in Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland This is an imposing, 5 foot by 3 foot, apparently sandstone monument, with elaborate carved adornments, fixed on the wall inside the south-east porch of the church, although it was probably moved here after the last church renovation. Church records show that James' father, John Jameson, was responsible for this monument in 1761 and the script at the bottom of the monument explains that George Jameson of Edin (Edinburgh) created either the inscription or the monument itself.
