Carved Skull Pillar below a Table Tomb at Dunsyre South Lanarkshire Scotland 4 of 4

This pillar carved with a skull holds a flat tomb stone above the grass of the churchyard. The Church at Dunsyre is built on a mound with legends of an ancient body being found when church regenerations were undertaken. The legs of a Table Tomb are often referred to as a Pillars and they can be either plain, or ornate, either with, or without depictions that can be iconic symbols repeated from generation to generation around one burial ground and also around many burial grounds with regional similarities and differences. Dunsyre Churchyard has several skull depictions serving to remind us what lies beneath both the earth and our flesh and also that our days of living are our chances to experience and to exchange everything in the seeming several worlds all around us.
