Alvie Church 2

            Alvie Church, Kincraig, Highlands. The chapel dates from about 1380 and was renovated in 1880. During the renovations the cobbled floor was removed and replaced by a wooden floor, but when the cobbled floor was removed the remains of 150 bodies were discovered. The remains are believed to be the victims of a battle, despite the fact that no weapons were found with them, and that there is no local record of such a battle. The skeletons were all found lying head to head. 

The bodies were reinterred in the church yard and the site is marked with a granite stone which bears the inscription: 'Buried here are the Remains of 150 Human Bodies Found, October 1880, beneath the Floor of this Church. Who they were, When they lived, How they Died, Tradition Notes not. Their Bones are Dust, Their good Swords Rust, their souls are with the Saints we Trust'.
