Description

Scotland, Argyll, Kilmartin The two most important monuments within are the Kilmartin crosses, one 9th-10th century, the other late medieval in date, within the church. In the churchyard are a large collection of late medieval gravestones in the 'West Highland' style, dating between the 14th and early 16th centuries. Many are marked by figures of warriors in contemporary dress with spears and swords, along with figures of fantastic animals, foliage and interlace patterns. Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by! ;o)

It is strange to see a skull and cross bones on a grave they must have been pirates !! :) nicely taken Rita

It is such a great shame that stones become weathered and damaged over the years because these look quite intricate. Super capture :)

Wow -- OLD! Wonderful images -- we think of 19th century as "old" in America. Interesting to see some genuinely "old" markers.

Es wundert mich dass die niemand brauchen konnte. Oft sind solche Steine wiederverwendet

Die sehen ja echt urig und verwittert aus; kein Wunder bei dem Alter. Hier könnte man sich vorstellen, daß um Mitternacht die Skelette aus den Gräbern steigen. Sehr gutes und die Phantasie anregendes Foto.
