Regent Morton

Or rather, the burial site of James Douglas, Earl of Morton. (James, Earl Morton and hence the belief reference the initials). In Greyfriars Kirkyard.  He is certainly buried here somewhere but without the usual grand grave marker as he was executed.  The fourth of the regents to the young James VI.
