Robert Burns died at the age of 37, in 1796, from a rheumatic heart condition. Jean Armour gave birth to their last son, Maxwell, on the day of her husband's funeral.

I sat up at attention when you read out the grave of James Fraser. My paternal great Granda James Fraser moved from Scotland to Belfast to work in ship building. His son James Fraser - my Granda, my Da - James Fraser, my brother - James Fraser and his son, my nephew James Fraser lol, all the generations of James Fraser's. Brilliant tour GV! Didn't realize Robby Burns was only 37 when he passed. My Da always celebrated "Robby Burns Day" in homage to his Scottish roots.

I’ve now subscribed to your channel in preference to ‘Dead Good Walks’ to which I’ve unsubscribed as he seems - in my opinion - quite ignorant towards his commenters, even though they may go to lengths and considerable time in preparing useful information for him in regards headstone inscriptions etc. Being myself of Italian origin, I hope you visit Italy and visit the Italian cemeteries. I can certainly help you out in the comments with translations and insights to inscriptions. All the best.

I know Robert Burns is very important to the Scottish people, and they have a Burns Night in January. I'm hoping you come across the surname Ellison sometime. My grandmother's father came from Belfast, Ireland. I actually have pictures of him from here, but I know very little of his life there. Again, thank you for showing us this beautiful cemetery.

I’ve been learning a lot from watching your videos (and Serenity Sue’s) about the distinct cultural styles in the cemeteries. French, Belgian, Scottish, and Irish cemeteries are all very different from one another. 400+ people wiped out by a terrible disease we don’t even think about any more. All that’s left of that suffering is a plot of grass. A meditation on impermanence…

I'm glad to be able to see such interesting cemeterys and this one is well kept. The EVP's were very interesting as well. It's interesting to learn abit about what folks did to make a living. You don't seem to see that anymore on headstones today, or not as much. We know folks had shoes there.🙂 Take care GV and thank you for teaching us about Mr. Burns. Werid how they took his skull but they did take slides of Albert Einstein as well. Mr. Einstein died in Princeton, N.J. where I used to ride my bike there in the 1980's. If you ever get a chance to visit the college there there is a free museum that is very interesting. Also if you go into town across the street from the main big black gate of the college is a nice pub & eatery place. Sitting at the wooden tables are carvings of past students of the college you can read If you go across the street, through the big gates and stright ahead and go into the building there, they have an elevator. Some time ago two female students who were in the elevator were taken down to the basement a floor they had not wanted to go. The door of the elevator opened and the girls saw Civil War soldiers on stretchers & doctors trying to help them. The girls reported that one man turned around and looked at them and waved his hand like to say; " Come here"... No one else seemed to notice them...but they pushed the up button and the elevator brought them back up. They never used the elevator again So if you ever get to visit please use the stairs. Back in the Civil War days here in America they did use some college rooms as makeshift hospitals and such. I hope you don't mind me sharing that little bit of history -- Folks -- talking about college kids there I guess don't think of how many folks from the war were buried here & there on the Princeton campus and have been forgotten about. Well I hope the weather holds out for you and I wish you a bunch of this for good luck🌈☘️🌈🍀🌈☘️🌈 (I had to edit the date to 1980's, somehow it showed up as 1880's😮)

My G’kids think I’m a dinosaur when it comes to my “tales” memories of pre university school. I was in the generation where there were no accelerated classes, only classes to prepare you for life after high school. We studied all the subjects from Greek and Roman subjects to all authors up to the beginning of the twentieth century. Such a great education and all of it was free until University. I still answer the questions they ask me and I challenge they to do extra to learn more. I’m 76 and believe I had a great public school education. Robert Burns was one of my favorite to read and study his life and work.
