Isolation Cycle 49; Whittingehame Graves...


Another sunny day in the Shire, and today we cycled into Whittingehame Estate to look around the old Church yard, East Lothian has several old Churches with Graveyards of interesting old headstones some dating to 17th Century...




These old stones often tell of the resident`s occupation, this Iron and scissors probably for a former Taylor...


A lot of these markings relate to The Masons Organisation...









While many Church yards like here have Commonwealth war graves, here are 3 gravestones of Foresters who came from The British Honduras during WW2...



Nearby is an impressive old Yew tree...

Our walk around done we cycled on continuing hour loop of a couple of hours...



Wee film, Song is `The Great Ceilidh Swindle` by Peatbog Fairies,
