In the parish church of Creich in Fife, on the south bank of the Firth of Tay, is an incised tomb slab commemorating David de Barclay and his wife, Helena de Douglas. David's date of death was left blank (MCCCC..) and never completed; the stone, however, was clearly carved, for both of them, on the occasion of the wife's death, in 1421 (29 Jan). While the effigy is not particularly clear, due to weather damage, it can be made out that Barclay is shown bare-headed, wearing (probably) a mail collar, laminated spaulders with hinged upper and lower cannons of the vambraces, winged couters, a globular breastplate with hooped fauld (no jupon) over a mail haubergeon, an elaborate sword belt with a sword of standard European form (with turned-down quillon tips), buckled cuisses and greaves, articulated poleyns and laminated sabatons. Other details, unfortunately, are unclear.

SEPULCHRAL SLAB FOUND IN THE CHURCH OF LONGFORGAN
The slab is an oblong block of fine Kingoodie stone, from the local quarry. An examination of the Creich stone shows that it has been erected by David de Barclay of Luthrie at the time of the death of his wife, on 29th January 1421; and the laird had then caused his own obituary inscription to he carved, leaving blanks for the month and for the last figures of the
year.
