On Samhain

Had a walk around Anwoth Old Kirk and graveyard today. I love this place. It is remarkable, full of atmosphere and has many fascinating gravestones. I thought it would be appropriate to share this photo of one of the gravestones for Samhain. The inscription on the other side, reads as follows:

‘Here lys the corpse of Robert McNish who died November the 8th 1757 aged one year. Also John McNish who died March 28th 1763 aged 19. Also Jean McNish who died May 6th 1763 aged 21. And also Margaret McNish who died June 26th 1763 aged 14 years. Children of Robert McNish and Mary McUhork in Whitsyd.

These Three winged angel heads and one skull and crossbones are on the reverse.

The Kirk was a notable location in the cult 1973 horror film ‘The Wicker Man.’

Hamlet of Anwoth, near Gatehouse of Fleet, Dumfries and Galloway, South West Scotland.
