UK - Scotland - Stirling - Star Pyramid martyrs' memorial

The Star Pyramid in Stirling's Holy Rude Churchyard. Dedicated to religious martyrs and freedom, the pyramid was commissioned by William Drummond in 1863. Inscribed with the words Rock of Ages, Psalms 62 which in the Christian Bible, talks about 'God, our Rock of Ages .. that the rock which is higher than we are, that rock who is a refuge.' etc. As the peak of the pyramid rises to a point we also see the carving in stone of an open Bible that as if printed, has the words 'Word of God' and on the next page, "Light and Truth.' On 29 July 1567 the infant son of Mary, Queen of Scots, was crowned James VI of Scotland near here.
