The memorial reads:
"The bloody murderers of these men were Major Balfour and Captain Metland with them others were not free caused them to search in Polmadie as soon as they had them out found they murdered them with shots of guns.Scarce time did they to them allow before their maker their knees to bow. Many like them in this land have been whose blood for vengance cries to heaven. This cruel wickedness you see was done in lou of Polmadie. This may a standing witness be twixt presbytrie and prelacie."

The actual church is semi-derelict now but the grave yard is kept in good condition.
