Sir, I am disabled, and now living vicariously through you. Thank you for making these.

[@grannybee]

Amazing how these headstones have survived for more than 200 years. Another well maintained cemetery.

[@virginiaasher9781]

Peaceful and beautiful

[@ChurchyardsandCemeteries]

Cooool lovely old place just like here in Cornwall

[@jutiansmith5689]

Lovely setting

[@joelhurley2678]

Dan thank you for another great tour of Scotland and really enjoyed the beautiful area that you visited. Thank you so much for sharing have a great day.

[@jasonbaker5430]

It's fascinating to me to see buildings or structures that old. Incredible

[@debroahisaacs2452]

I love the Scottish videos, cemeteries the most. My ancestors came to America from Scotland and settled in the mountains of Va. Tenn. Kentucky. The other half of me is Cherokee. There were and are a lot of us. Thanx for this video.

I wish the community would do upkeep on these ancient places. It’s all going to crumble away and be forgotten. Most of the skulls are quite comical I’m really surprised you didn’t get rain there🙃 it seems to follow you I enjoyed it greatly

[@janetpendlebury6808]

That is the nature of graveyards, all the ancient ones are underground, covered by farms and fields of crops, or under housing estates. The church is very rich, it is up to them to maintain their graveyards.

[@Nylon_riot]

​@@janetpendlebury6808I agree. We have so many abandoned cemeteries being reclaimed that even in a heavily populated area. Some of them private property the community let go. The past is as mysterious as the future, and billions have gone before us without a trace. But also don't feel bad. Westerners don't realize we still have a very Victorian attitude towards death. Americans are absolutely ridiculous about it. We even consecrate places where someone died.

[@sylviaburns2995]

Crumbling away and being forgotten is what death is all about...

[@lipwak]

Thanks for this. I was there two years ago and wanted to see the headstones that had the skulls with wings. I looked around for them but didn't see any of them. You found all three of them that I'd seen on some graveyard websites. Bravo!

[@CathyTx2001]

Nice graveyard...sorry I missed the live stream....I forgot to set a timer!

[@janetslicer3637]

Really a beautiful and quiet place to roam. That church has surely stood the test of time. But all of those headstones are works of art. Incredible masonry, carvings and religious presentations. It is truly incredible to me how they have stood the test of time. So much history, it makes me wonder about my ancestors. My family surname is Kirkwood.

[@clarkharvell5242]

What a fabulous place!

[@hellie_el]

❤❤❤ how beautiful

[@w.5725]

Love Scotland! Such a nice country it is. I have a strong connection with it. Every time im there it feels like home. Been on numerous graveyards and there all are old & beautiful.

[@10beachbum22]

Such a beautiful, serene place.

[@spitfirekev]

Another gem Dan. I love the way Scotland leave the old buildings remains standing.

[@faerydragonanstachesadventures]

Love the videos and history

[@annprett8307]

Another stunning video have you been to Brookwood cemetery if haven't I think you would like it might need a couple of days it huge

[@deadgoodwalks]

Thank you Ann. Not yet, I want to go but like you say I'd need a while

[@marthavanbeek-putters]

Most definitely very soothing. It is a wonder that you can still read the stones quite well. The skulls are really looking at you watch out😏 Thanks for this tour Martha

[@beckysingleton596]

That's so pretty and peaceful there!

[@kellynesbit9866]

Thank you for giving some dates.

[@carolmurray5048]

[@ianrobert6239]

Beautiful there Carol.

[@deadgoodwalks]

My favourite country :)

[@robertwunner5523]

Iove old cemeterys

[@lozinozz7567]

I don’t mind the reuse of a grave where they continue on the back of the tombstone. At least it preserves the space, it’s a natural occurrence that bodies return to earth and make room for more but the memorial lives on. Currently in Western Australia they are ‘refurbishing’ grave spaces. Basically means they are getting rid of all traces and making room in the middle for more burials. In a country the size of ours, the fact that they are making out there’s not enough room is despicable. Particularly where, in Europe, some cemeteries are centuries old.

[@janetpendlebury6808]

Which is why it makes sense to do away with burials, and have cremations etc instead.

[@Occident.]

Hello mate. Check out the old Cemetery on Durham rd in Gateshead. Oldest stone i saw there is 1820. Some interesting stones. Plus in Whicham 3 miles away, there is a very interesting old cemetery. Theres also an interesting one in Heworth. All have very old stones.

[@jerritucker6510]

Great cemetery walkthrough. Thank you!

[@clairwaucaush7225]

There seems to be some room around back. So no new graves are allowed there?

[@marierowe5969]

Wonderful place ,stunning

[@EllenCFarmGirl]

Wow❤

[@shelaleon1879]

Thank you Dan for another great walk. So envious, we don't have cemeteries or graveyards like this in So. Florida.

[@Nylon_riot]

Hop on over to New Orleans. Their cemeteries are very similar to what you see on this channel. Though admittedly, I haven't sen them since Katrina.😬 That one, Boston, and Boot Hill cemetery in Tombstone are my favorites.

[@annette4444]

Are you in the Panhandle of Fla?

[@evelynmcculloch3980]

Anwoth Kirk is just along the road from Gatehouse of Fleet,where I was born and bred and still live, walked and played round this old Kirk yard many a time, it has many a Covenanters grave and is a great spot to play hide and seek. 😁

[@mariejo7408]

Beautiful video greeting from Belgium ❤

[@onlineprofitkey]

Nice vid/tour Dan thx, some interesting looking ones there. Some of them old ones are real 'works of art'... another time another place. As an ancient graveyard enthusiast myself, I found it handy at one stage to learn how to read Roman numerals. They're handy enough to learn. I was curious to know what date that one was showing at 02:29. Turned out to be 1780. MDCCLXXX = 1780 M = (1000) D = (500) C = (100) L = (50) X = (10) Yeah yeah, saying that... what have the Romans ever done for us? 🙂 p.s. Loved 'The Wicker Man'. 👍 🖖

[@annette4444]

I wS watching Side Stepe avenger he found Graves of a Jhon Craig family in Alabama in the God bless America 🇺🇸.

[@F4Insight-uq6nt]

Symbolism a Plenty.

[@stephenwilliams926]

Did you do that dance they did at the end of the film later on 😮.

[@Elysian777]

What year is the church? Thank you- this is amazing. So idyllic and peaceful. The wings are taking the soul to heaven, the hour glass, skulls and crossbones are memento mori. These symbols are common on graves throughout post Reformation Scotland when it was seen as too ‘papist’ to put overtly Christian symbols or representations of saints etc on tombstones. Compass is masonic.

[@missmarple7639]

👍👍👍

[@bakenumber4]

It's sad there are no flowers on anyone's graves, but I'd be careful visiting old graveyards if I were you, bc something may follow you home ur not prepared for.

[@janetpendlebury6808]

Most of the graves are a couple of hundred years old, probably no living relatives to put flowers on them.

[@chuckcorris2392]

👍🏼

[@ianrobert6239]

Was this spring Dan?

[@deadgoodwalks]

I can tell you exactly Ian, 10/04/23 :)

[@Staffo1972]

You don't have to be famous to have a cool lookin old headstone

[@ruthmaund4634]

What happened to the church? Is there anything i can read

[@Cornflakes234]

You should check it out at night.
