    Hello from Long Island, New York. A gorgeous cemetery! I used to walk through cemeteries, but can't walk anymore on my own. Your explorations make up for that absence in my life. I've never seen cemeteries like this in the States. Thank you for the tours.

    Robert Stevenson was a well renowned civil engineer especially noted for the Bell Rock lighthouse just off the coast of Arbroath. It is mounted below sea level and the area was well documented for many a shipwreck. It is the oldest sea washed lighthouse still standing. Awesome video.

    What is it about Scotland that, even when there *are* trees around, it still looks utterly *devoid* of trees? I realize the forests were cut down ages ago... but Jeez Scotland... plant some evergreens already. LOL.

    • @clairenoon4070
      @clairenoon4070 Рік тому +5

      Lol! Scotland has the highest proportion of forest of all UK nations, and in the past 100 years that proportion has significantly increased.
      The vast majority of that is what you claim it doesn't have: evergreens; specifically vast commercial coniferous forests.
      Far from being what's needed, they are increasingly being recognised as a problem - monocultures that don't support wildlife diversity.
      What's actually needed is far more native, deciduous trees, precisely the ones you seem to have a problem with because they're bare in the winter.

    (Of "beer" fame-yeah, I put that in quotes for a reason-being more of a BeamishStout fan).

    I remember visiting this graveyard a few years ago and what annoyed me was ppl with dogs going around the area letting them run freely over the graves . It's a mark of disrespect to the dead regardless to how long ppl have been interred there. 😮😡

      *Tempus Fugit* [Credit: Wikipedia]
      A winged hourglass representing time flying, designed for gravestones and monuments.
      Tempus Fugit is a Latin phrase, usually translated into English as 'time flies'. The expression comes from Line 284 of Book 3 of Virgil's _Georgics_ - where it appears as Fugit Inreparabile Tempus: 'It escapes, irretrievable time.' The phrase is used in both its Latin and English forms as a proverb that 'time's a-wasting'.

      You can get in touch with the local authorities who will tell you where to find records of burials. If you have a date for your dead relative they might be able to help you. Or you could try the old parish records of the local churches.
