Being also charged 3000 Scots pounds for this privilege, the monument is necessarily grand. The grave is a memorial only as, whilst Little is definitely in the graveyard, this is not the position. He is now mainly remembered for this elaborate stone tomb in Greyfriars Kirkyard, which was completed in 1683 and is one of the most distinctive in the graveyard. The tomb shows Little lying recumbent, propped by his elbow, under a canopy supported on six Corinthian columns and topped by two female figures (thought to represent his daughters). Documents mention four figures on the tomb, representing moral virtues. The railings and pillars on the church side are not part of the original design and were added in 1770 to provide enclusue, being designed by Thomas Sibbald.
