Rare Viking Graves In Scotland | Logie Old Kirk | Logie

- The Parish of Logie is among the oldest in Scotland, being established during the reign of King David I from 1124 to 1153. The first church serving the parish was dedicated to St Serf and dates back at least as far as 1183, when it was referred to in a charter by Bishop Simon of Dunblane as being the property of the monastery in North Berwick. Records suggest that this first church was replaced by another in 1380.
The kirkyard is home to a fine collection of old, and in some cases very old, gravestones. Symbols of mortality such as skulls and crossbones, angels, and hourglasses can be found on a number: these were common from the Reformation and into the 1700s when the traditional symbol of the cross was viewed as too papist for the Presbyterian Kirk. There are also examples at Logie Old Kirk of symbols signifying the occupation of the person buried: including malt shovels, smiths' hammers and horseshoes, and shoemakers' knives.
Much older, and rarer, are two Viking hogback gravestones found on the east side of the kirkyard. These are thought to date back to the end of the 1100s, though one has at some point been, literally, smashed to pieces to be reused as building material.

Thank you, D G W. Two of my dear Stirling friends from circa 1993 to 2009 (during which I obtained a B A (Hons.) 1997, from studying at the University of Stirling), have their own personal Truths to tell, regarding Logie Old Kirk.
Firstly, my friend, Ian, has his Grandfather buried there. He was worried that the rabbits were consuming the flower tributes he put upon the grave. He then put up a little cage of 'chicken wire', which helped immensely.
Secondly, dear George Tierney exclaimed when asked where he needed to be buried: 'Logie Old Kirk, Where My Family Are!'. George died a few years later and is now beside his ancestors. 💚
Bye for now. Rab 🍻😎 🕊 🕊
Sorry for your losses Rab. It's an amazing place, so peaceful and that good women looking after them all
@@deadgoodwalks Good health, D G W.

Stay free. Rab 🍻😎
Absolutely amazing graves🪦🪦
This place is in my top 3 fav's, the video doesn't do it justice
Is this the oldest cemetery you've seen?
He skull.and cross bones are really amazing
The Viking section was defiantly
Very interesting! Have been there 10 days ago. Like it very much.
This is so cool. I descend from Grahams and Forbes. It's my family. Thank you.
Interesting. Another example of an ant-bodysnatcher watch house. I liked the chi-ro symbol on the gate at the Grahams plaques.
There probably is an old Viking sight underneath. Many of my Scottish ancestors allegedly were also Norman and prior to the Norman's Viking. All very interesting.
I was just there! Beautiful site!
The audacious vanity of those on the front of that old empty/ abandoned church! They actually paid to be noticed...
That was amazing !!!
First time to your channel very interesting and quite the history. I was a so sorry to see how no respect for the dead when the lady was walking on the graves and amazing cemetery
very wonderful!
Wonderful place ♥️♥️♥️
It really is!
Please go to Logierait church near Pitlochry.
It still has 3 cremation baskets. Large,medium, and small on display. There's 2 graveyards, one old and one new.
My second son used to laugh and said they were saving money when I die and putting me in there.
He also stated he was putting potatoes wrapped in tinfoil with me for everyone's dinner.😂😂😂
Unless you can remember her name I'm going to assume that was Professor McGonagall working there during summer break.
Where are you at ?
It's been a while since you've posted anything
Hallo,was war das älteste Grab auf dem Friedhof?
Part of my ancestry....is scottish, I wonder if I am related to any one there.
The women we met there was lovely, I'm sure she'd be happy to help if you have links to the area. Otherwise findagrave or ancestry is a great place to start
I was here today
Did you enjoy it?
@@deadgoodwalks very much , I have also visited ancient relics sites in Aberdeen and wallace monument in last 2 days . Been Amazing
That lady was real nice
The lady is nice, but most of what she said is not understandable.
Muddled.....
That'll be the thick Stirling accent. Loved it
