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

I spotted this in a kirkyard just now. Can anyone explain it? I’m guessing it indicates some kind of reservation securing the space? Grateful for the answer if you have it.

I just spotted this 1727 headstone which seems to feature a couple of spectacle wearers! Has anyone ever seen similar? @secretedinburgh.bsky.social
