Edrom Church, Scottish Borders
The church dates back to Norman times though all that is left is the richly carved Romanesque doorway of the old parish church, now the entrance to a burial vault. An interesting gravestone is that of a tailor showing the tools of his trade, scissors and an iron.Saturday, 21 June 2008

John Taylor, died at the remarkable age of 137 years
Leadhills Cemetery. John Taylor retired from the mines in 1751 at the age of 117! A long time was spent in this large cemetery looking for his grave, it was eventually found. For future visitors I've included a couple of images showing the location of John Taylor's grave. It is the flat tablestone located near the boundary wall under the trees!Saturday, 14 June 2008
Elvanfoot Church
This graveyard has only more recent headstones, one old wooden cross caught my attention. The church has a excellent slate roof. I'm not sure, but the church looked unused.

West Kirk, Culross, Fifeshire
Another great expression!
Silk flowers
Church gates
Nearly missed this one high up in the wall
West Kirk in ruins
West Kirk, Culross, Fifeshire
This is a much older church than the Parish Church visited yesterday. It is in ruins, but the graveyard has many very ancient gravestones.
I like the expression!
