James Bain (no dates)
his wife Barbara Henderson (they married 1795 Abbotshall)

Hi Ruskie sorry for the delay in answering you
this is the only bain in Kirkcaldy cemeteries
In memory of James BAIN who died 8.1.1872 age 66
his sister Margaret died 5.9.1883 age 68
his brother Thomas died 22.2.1887 age 79
his sister Isabella died 21.4.1895 age 84

Re Henderson none on my index fits the bill

[Ruskie]

Norrie, you're a good egg. Many thanks for your help with this. This is a different Bain family, but no doubt connected somehow. 
Much appreciated.

[Jokdy]

Thank you Norrie, very much appreciated

Kind regards,
