Neilston Cemetery, Neilston.
I have a strange fondness for Neilston Cemetery. I rarely visit Neilston …
Hawkhead Cemetery, Paisley
Hawkhead Cemetry Hawkhead cemetery 2021.
Its that time on the wheel of the year! Have a safe and happy Solstice! #solstice The shapely cloisters of Paisley Abbey. The cafe there was a Pre covid haunt of mine for happy pots of tea and a biscuit (white chocolate and lemon melt, thanks for asking 😋) . The incredible "Christ feeding the people" by Glasgow school of art alumi Fyffe Christie. Commissioned in 1951 by George Macleod (Minister of Govan Old in the 1930s) it hung in Clyde Street's Iona Community headquarters, a place devoted to social justice. In 1977 the painting went into storage then mysteriously disappeared. It was eventually located in 2017 in Canada. Due to a generous benefactor the painting was purchased by Govan Heritage Trust and returned to Scotland. Its on display now within Govan Old, home of @govanstones. Free to Visit and open 7 days 1-4pm!!! A beautiful day in Govan Old graveyard when I noticed this unusual wee stone, bucking the trend of facing east. Some more digging (pun intended) into the history books for this. What a gem of a graveyard. #cemeteryexplorer #graveyardsofinstagram #graveyard #scottishgraves #govanstones #govan #oldgrave #mementomori #gravestonephotography The glorious wonky donkey on the sun stone @govanstones. Who is he? Why is he there? #viking #govanstones #blackandwhite #historic #medieval #carvedstones #kingdomofstrathclyde A wee bit of fun for #skulllsaturday! The sarcophagus of St Constantine @govanstones what an amazing place! #blackandwhite #graveyard #grave #history #scottishgraves This beautiful pillar detail was taken at Woodside cemetery in Paisley. A walk around the cemetery itself is a good idea if you are local, many of us simply pass it on the way up to the crematorium. I was fortunate enough to take a guided walk with @paisleydarksidehistoryandtours This carving took me back to the old testament! Can you guess the story? I've annotated the second picture for you. Have you seen anything like this in your wanderings?
