We recently had an overseas request from to locate a gravestone. It took two visits to find it as it it was completely hidden inside years of ivy growth & was subsumed into a tree. Two hours of cutting back thick ivy strands eventually revealed the stone. #Edinburgh #Gravestones #Cemeteries

#31daysofgraves day 31 Memento Mori. Sadly the headstones at Dunblane Cathedral graveyard, with memento mori, are now mostly worn away. These images are all from Dunblane Museum. Staff & volunteers there are helping with a new graveyard audio tour, hopefully out soon. 🤞 Cheeky wee plug! 😀

The interior of Glasgow Cathedral. Consecrated in 1197, it survived the Reformation in the 16th Century almost intact, making it the most complete medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland.

#31daysofgraves day 30 colour. Wordplay again, but with a positive twist! This is the Finlayson, of GREENhill, headstone in Dunblane Cathedral graveyard, previously flat and now re-erected by the family. Their ancestors were buried in the nave of the Cathedral before the restoration.
