Tour Scotland photograph of the Nathaniel Law gravestone in the old Parish Churchyard at Eassie, near Glamis Castle, Angus, Scotland. Nathaniel Law, for 10 years Minister of Eassie and Neavie, born 25th May, 1852, died 14th February 1888. Not much information given on this gravestone, but for me an interesting cross to photograph.
The Law surname is widespread in Scotland and England and the surname is locational as well as topographic in origin. Early examples of recordings include William de Lawe of the county of Essex in 1229; William Law of Cambridgeshire in 1279 and Hugh del Lawe of Yorkshire in 1309. Robert de Lawe of Scotland, was granted a safe conduct to pass through England on his return from Spain in 1428, and in 1488 James of Law was noted in the records of the burgh of Prestwick.
