I'm afraid I can't make these any clearer. I've turned them round to see if that helps.

Yes thanks both for trying, and thanks Hallmark for posting the image here. Looks as though I'll have to go to Lisbellaw cemetery and try to read the original.

Think about taking stuff to enable a 'wax rubbing', this often helps inscriptions to be read. Also photos taken in oblique light - early morning or late evening - show the letters more clearly.
