Spring, the true fairest of all seasons.

I took a wander back to St.Mary the Anglican churchyard in Monken Hadley. All of the photos below are from there. I finally found the pirate grave. More on that later.

A wonderful headstone, photographed by Gigi Elmes for her Flickr set ‘Burial Sites’. I urge you to take a look, there are some lovely photos and a couple of rather funny epitaph engravings in there. I.C. Butts anyone?

A Scottish Graveyard Miscellany

Today I received a gift. ‘A Scottish Graveyard Miscellany’, a book by Hamish Brown. It is no doubt one of the best gifts I have ever received and look forward to ploughing through it with great relish.

Below are some photos of the Mackenzie mausoleum at Greyfriars Kirkyard, one of the cemeteries featured in the book. For history of the Kirkyard and the much rumoured Mackenzie Poltergeist, go here.
