The armorial supporters are interesting to compare with the 1834 Duff Memorial at St. Ciarán's Kirk Stonehaven (see related artefacts), which commemorates another Robert William Duff of Fetteresso (this man's grandfather?) they are much more casually dressed, is this because of the later date or is it a reflection of Australian sartorial fashions at the time?
