i used to live in Gallowhill saw this when i was 4 years old before i moved to England and my mother told me Marjory's story good to see someone showing it to the world. One of those things i have never forgotten. Great Video!

Quality again Roger. Well done.

[@rogergriffith286]

Thanks.

Great video. Only a few weeks back I passed this cairn and wondered it’s meaning.

[@rogergriffith286]

Well done for spotting it. It used to be highlighted with heather flower beds, etc.

Roger Griffith again it shows there history of this place we walk past every day. Any detail on the old cholera pits at the motorway

[@rogergriffith286]

@@Kal-ir9ze Paisley - in 1832 a burial site was located at the north east corner of what became St James Park, for the burial of circa 446 victims of the cholera pandemic which arrived in Paisley in that year. 446 people were recorded as having died and most were buried here.

I wrote this a while back - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholera_pit#Renfrewshire

[@Kal-ir9ze]

Roger Griffith no wonder no building on there since. Odd to think of these sites and uses hundreds of years ago with what’s happening as we speak across the world

Princess Marjorie should've bypassed the abbey and gone straight to Paisley Maternity Hospital. Pretty sure she would've survived had that been the case.

Princess Marjorie was my 13th great grandmother. This makes me so sad that this "tomb" is not even hers, nor is the effigy of her true likeness. I would love to see this. RIP grandmother, until we meet in the clouds when our Lord Jesus Christ returns

A fascinating story that has got a bit confused through the mists of time.

[@clevelandwagtail1073]

@@rogergriffith286 I agree, like so many stories. Not to mention how Pocahontas (who is my 12th great grandmother) helped the British to settle America. So much of it are lies, that we have to wonder about all of history. As they say, history is told by the victors, and how much of it is skewed.
