#31daysofgraves Day 10 urn. We have a few urns at Dunblane Cathedral graveyard. This is my favourite, as I'm rather partial to a palmette or two or three! John Watson manager of Airthrey paper mill and wife Mary Coubrough. Note blue sky, at last.

Urn, on a headstone, with two styles of palmette.

Large sandstone headstone with draped urn on top, surrounded by other headstones and fencing. Trees in background and some blue sky at last!
