The birlinn is a type of boat used especially in the Hebrides and West Highlands of Scotland in the Middle Ages. This one is carved on a gravestone at Kilbride church, Lerags, Argyll. At the top of the mast there looks to be a beacon or torch. A lit torch represents life, immortality and the everlasting life.
