Quite a substantial piece of stone, about the size of a rugby ball. The eye of the serpent is a 1943 farthing, has a robin on it.
Somebody has obviously gone to some trouble to bring it here. From the lettering on it, may be some reference to the Torah.

Lead strips to place on either side of the matrix used to create spacing between lines. Used as part of the hot metal printing process at Waverley Cameron.
Waverley Cameron were located in Blair Street, Edinburgh.Waverley Cameron started as Nisbet MacNiven, a paper maker, in 1770 at Balerno, just outside Edinburgh. It then developed as a stationery wholesaler, after moving into the middle of Edinburgh in 1788. The first Camerons appeared on the scene in 1840 and the name was changed to MacNiven and Cameron in 1845. The Waverley nib (narrow waist and upturned point) was first manufactured for the company by Gillott in 1864, and later by Hinks, Wells. Gillott made the Waverley Pens until the mid 1870s, when they were transferred to Hinks Wells. In 1900, MacNiven and Cameron bought a factory in Birmingham and started to manufacture their pens themselves. The Birmingham factory was at the Watery Lane site from 1900 to 1964. Towards the end of that period, the factory was making mainly paper clips, of the barrel spring type, but some nib manufaturing continued to the end. The Waverley Pen continued, little changed, in production for exactly 100 years, until the Birmingham factory was closed in 1964.

The Lead Mine operated for a few decades after the 1840s with at times several hundred people living in accommodation provided by the mine owners. It is sited high in the Galloway Glens to the east of the small village of Carsphairn. There is currently a community archaeology project underway to record as much as possible of the site. There is a video of local farmer / historian Anna Campbell talking about the lead mine's history. Search for Woodhead Lead Mine.

American actor and singer Don Johnson (1949) won a Golden Globe in 1986 for his lead role as James 'Sonny' Crockett in the police series Miami Vice, in which he played more than 100 episodes. Earlier, he was acclaimed for his lead role in the Science-Fiction film A Boy and His Dog (1975). Although he had been acting since 1970, he also released two music albums. His biggest hit was 'Heartbeat' from the 1986 album of the same name. His later films include Tin Cup (1996), Machete (2010), Django Unchained (2012) and Knives Out (2019).
Donnie 'Don' Wayne Johnson was born in Flat Creek, Missouri, in 1949. He is the son of Freddie Wayne Johnson, a farmer and Nell Johnson (née Wilson), a beautician. When he was six years old, his family moved to Kansas. In 1967, he graduated from Wichita South High School, where he was involved in the high school's theatre program. As a senior, he played the lead role of Tony in 'West Side Story'. He studied at the University of Kansas as a theatre major but dropped out after one year, and moved to San Francisco to study drama at the American Conservatory Theatre. In 1969, he starred in the Los Angeles stage production 'Fortune and Men's Eyes'. The play included a prison rape scene with Johnson as the victim. He made his film debut as Stanley Sweetheart in the quickly forgotten drama The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart (Leonard Horn, 1970) about a confused college student's experiences with sex, relationships, and drugs. Johnson continued to work on stage, film and television without breaking into stardom. His notable films from this period were the acid Western Zachariah (George Englund, 1971), the coming-of-age film The Harrad Experiment (Ted Post, 1973), Lollipop and Roses (1974) and the ci-Fi black comedy A Boy and His Dog (L. Q. Jones, 1975). In 1976, Johnson was the roommate of actor Sal Mineo at the time Mineo was murdered. Every TV pilot in which Johnson starred failed to launch. He was nicknamed a six-time loser in Hollywood because he was part of six series that did not make it to television. In the 1980s, Johnson managed to get into a series that became successful, Miami Vice. He played the role of undercover police detective Sonny Crockett and formed a legendary police duo with Philip Michael Thomas as Ricardo Tubbs. John Russell at IMDb: "It revolutionized television with its modern fashion, pop music, unique style and use of real locations." Crockett embodied the masculine cool of the 1980s with his thousand-dollar Versace and Hugo Boss suits over pastel cotton T-shirts, his Ferrari, Rolex and Endeavour yacht. Miami Vice aired between 1984 and 1990. Johnson won a Golden Globe and received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for his role. Between seasons on Miami Vice, Johnson starred in TV miniseries such as the remake The Long, Hot Summer (Stuart Cooper, 1985). As a singer, he released the albums 'Heartbeat' (1986) and 'Let It Roll' (1989). His 'Heartbeat' cover version peaked at no. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. After the series ended he focused solely on his film career. Although films like Dead Bang (John Frankenheimer, 1989), The Hot Spot (Dennis Hopper, 1990) and Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (Simon Wincer, 1991) with Mickey Rourke, did not fare well with the critics, quite a few of them have obtained a considerable cult following.
In the late 1990s, Don Johnson became successful again as Nash in the television series Nash Bridges (1996-2001) about a detective with the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD). Johnson received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1996. In 2005, Johnson briefly starred in the courtroom television drama show Just Legal as a jaded lawyer with a young and idealistic protégé/partner (Jay Baruchel). It was cancelled after just three episodes. Johnson appeared in the West End of London production of 'Guys and Dolls' (2007). He also appeared in films like the sports film Tin Cup (Ron Shelton, 1996) with Kevin Costner, the Neo-Noir comedy Goodbye Lover (Roland Joffé, 1998) with Patricia Arquette, the romantic comedy When in Rome (Mark Steven Johnson, 2010) with Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel, and the exploitation action film Machete (Robert Rodriguez, Ethan Maniquis, 2010). Johnson travelled to Europe to make the Norwegian screwball comedy Lange flate ballær II/Long Flat Balls II (Harald Zwart, 2008) and the Italian films Bastardi/Bastards (Federico Del Zoppo, Andres Alce Meldonado, 2008) with Franco Nero, and Torno a vivere da solo/I'll Be Back to Living Alone (Jerry Calà , 2008). In 2012, Quentin Tarantino, a fan of Miami Vice, gave Johnson a role in his film Django Unchained. Johnson played a southern plantation owner named Spencer 'Big Daddy' Bennett. In 2014, he played seasoned Texas Ranger Earl McGraw in Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series. In 2019, Johnson played Richard Drysdale in the murder mystery Knives Out (Rian Johnson, 2019) starring Daniel Craig and acted as Police Chief Judd Crawford in the superhero series Watchmen (2019). Don Johnson married actress Melanie Griffith twice, the first time for a short period in 1976. Between 1981 and 1985, Johnson lived with actress Patti D'Arbanville. They have a son, actor Jesse Johnson (1982). Johnson had a relationship with Barbra Streisand. Together, they recorded the single 'Till I Loved You'. Between 1989 and 1996, Johnson was married for the second time to Melanie Griffith. In 1989, they had a daughter, film star Dakota Johnson. Johnson married Kelley Phleger in 1999, with whom he had three children: a daughter, Atherton Grace (1999), and two sons, Jasper Breckinridge (2002) and Deacon (2006).
