Archibald Tod

Tod was elected for a second term in 1651 (aged 67), representing a safe moderate line within continuing troubled times.

On a lot of records and certificates Katherine was also spelt Catharine... One of his son Archebald's wives was Margaret Jowsie (d.1655).

[7] Tod's grave has lost its original top and inscription (evidenced by the truncated pilasters to the sides).

The current top (although bearing a date 1606) was added around 1930 by the city architect E J Macrae as part of a wider restoration of the older tombs in the churchyard.

The new top has reinterpreted the presumably worn Tod coat of arms at the head of the tomb (presumably without research), and instead of three foxes shows three holly leaves.
