You may be interested to know that in the Parish Churchyard of Westruther the following monumental inscription can be found:

By James Bruce, Wedderlie son George late shephard in Mayshill d. 1.12.1853 34yrs. Children Alexander and Robina d. in inf. wife Elisabeth Waddell d. 10.7.1857 61yrs. James Bruce d. 15.4.1880 89yrs.

Notes
Dates are in UK format dd.mm.yyyy
Wedderlie is a farm  near Westruther that still exists today. www.wedderliefarm.co.uk/farm.htm
The inscription comes from the book Berwickshire The Western Parishes Monumental Inscriptions pre 1855 published by the Scottish Genealogy Society

I hope this information is of use to you.

Hello I have only just registered on this site and noticed your interest in Lindores.
I have a Lindores family in my tree. Isobella Lindores (b circa 1842 d 1876). Parents: John Lindores (nothing further known though still alive in 1873) and Elizabeth Stewart (b circa 1809 d 1873). She married Walter Dalgleish (b. 1841 d. 1903) in 1866. I visited Earlston Churchyard, checking Dalgleish memorials, one of which contained some information I did not expect.  I have transcribed it below with spelling as carved. It is in fairly poor condition and is propped up against a wall so I think it is not in its original location.  I use a question mark to indicate an illegible letter or remainder of word.

Erected by
Walter Dalgleish
In memory of his son.
John Lindoers Dalgleish
Who died 28th July 1875
A?ged 19 Month?
Also his wif?
Isabella Lin?
Who died 27th Aug?
Aged 33 Y?
Also Betsy Stuart wife of
John Lindoers who died at Redpath
In 1873 aged 64 years
She has ceased from her labour
And safe in the arms of Jesus

I know that not too much reliance should be placed on spelling but I find this stone a bit of a puzzle.  On official records I have found record the name as Lindores (1866 Marriage cert) and Liandores (1873 Death cert).  I have used the spelling Lindores as it seems to be the most consistent but I am not sure as to how much relevance I should give to the other spellings or how to notate them on my tree.
If this of interest to you I have a digital photograph of the memorial. 
Regards
