Interesting! To see a like-minded person as yourself, who's respect to those beneath your walking feet, who's Souls that now have crossed over, and are returned to their place in Heaven's time. Who's stories are now but a memory, that 'must' be retold, for those who's heart's are good and true, to see, and to hear, through 'your' own ways and means! And, for others like you who do likewise! For all those who are now on this earth, will become, like those that are seen through the lens of your, and other's cameras, will likewise become but a distant memory in time, when it is time to leave this earth. And who then, will tell 'their' life's purpose!? The stories of the Souls of history, (like the soldiers of war), must be remembered, and never forgotten! Or, sadly, will those that are now living, and those that are yet to be born, lose the meaning of self respect for our life's stories, and 'our' human struggles, be lost through time??
You did very well, and with your first stop to read the Buchan grave stone immediately had my interest peaked into the sad lives of that family…what happened on Nov 17th 1906 at spring well AND Glasgow for father and son to both die? One wonders in the son died through some tragedy and the father collapses on hearing the news? Then three years later poor Mary loses another older son,Archibald aged 40 who must have been her support after previous loss of husband and son . Good gracious. Reading more, it looks like much earlier ( no dates given) Mary and her husband had lost four young children, two girls appear to have been twins both aged six when they died, so one infers there must have been awful childhood diseases at that time which couldn’t be treated. But my heart really goes out to Mary Buchan…the strength of that woman to carry on alone throughout all those terrible losses breaks my heart…to live on alone to the age of 80, then passing away in the middle of the First World War. Looked at like that puts it all in some sort of perspective…just how lucky we are today to have healthy families and access to medicine etc. I’ve lost one son in his late 30’s myself, and it tears me up daily. I like to think I’m a strong woman, but I can’t hold a candle up to Mary. Godbless her and her family. Just glad they are all together again now in a better place. So much in depth history for you and YOUR sister to research if inclined on some of these stories…..Thankyou for taking an interest and time to walk round and share this with us. Keep it up….it keeps the memories of these people alive, just hearing their names mentioned, so they know they aren’t forgotten. 🙋♀️👏🏻👏🏻💐🙏
Thank you so much for your amazing comment ❤️ 😀 I'm so sorry for the loss of your son.Mary was really strong to go through all that heartbreak is just horrible.We are more lucky nowadays than those people back in the start of the 1900s,to loose your child must be the worst pain imaginable
The gravestones are actually taken down if they become unstable, they could seriously injure somebody if they fell on you, about 11 years ago i visited a cousin of mine who lived in Hamilton. i wanted to visit my gandperents grave at the bent cemetary, i was shocked to see most of the angels heads had bee knocked off the graves. Really nice of you to show your respects. jim Letchworth
Hopefully, someday, I will be able to travel to Scotland and see it. My first great grandparents came from Scotland in 1906 they are in the wee kirk churchyard at forest lawn in glendale California. And some of my other family are in riverview cemetery, and riverview abbey mausoleum here. It's a very beautiful place to visit. One thing I noticed, is your very respectful with regards to your camera being out.. here it's so different. I can go to riverview cemetery on a nice day and it's actually rather busy with foot traffic, and bicyclist.
You can film graves as much as you like. You are remembering them through your channel and you are doing it very respectfully with empathy as well so there is no issue. If anyone dislikes it, that’s their personal view. I regularly visit cemeteries in Scotland, Belgium and France.
Aww awesome I will subscribe 😊 I have seen some of the cemeteries online in Belgium some are spectacular! I do like to read their names out its then its like they come alive again even just for a short time xx
@@GraveyardSisters thank you. I am a clairaudient, clairvoyant etc spirit medium so i get names coming through from war dead. I get names changed on war memorials in france and belgium with it. I am wary of speaking about it on my videos though as there are so many people out there who like to attack it. I post it elsewhere though. The spirits if still around somewhere, appreciate visits and their names being said. All too often, people don’t know their ancestors so all they really have to remember them are mediums or people who visit their graves etc. Some people won’t be aware that their ancestors know who they are even if they don’t know their names. I find your videos really interesting and calming.
Hi again, please can you tell those of us unfamiliar with the area, what and where is Tollcross, and why specifically would children have been buried there, and not here with the main family ? The Buchan children were some, and then you mentioned children’s names on another stone having been buried there too? Thanks…… ps they would enhance and remember those lost souls by planting crocus or similar to flower all over that open space, as they don’t seem in a rush to put much else up for them. Just a thought that the Kirk could have organised…
Hi Tollcross is an area in Glasgow,I did wonder why the children were not buired with their parents so that's a great question 🤔 I will need to go maybe see if I can find any more information about the family and see if I could find the children's graves.Id say Tollcross is about 5-6 miles from Blantyre.Im wondering maybe they moved area? If I find anyone information out I will definitely post it
This was a very interesting and extremely moving video. Well done! The mass grave site and the colliery accident memorial were particularly poignant. Thank you for a great tour.
Thank you very much,its really sad to think all those people died and are under that bit of land its really heartbreaking,it was non stop 6 kids a month dying its hard to comprehended xx
@@GraveyardSisters I just wonder if the colliery owners paid the widows and mothers of these killed men the same as it would have taken to put up this memorial...grand and sbering as it is...where are the men buried...or have they been left in situ, if the the place was so dangerous...I too like to walk and meditate among the graveyard where my son wh died at 23 and his father who died at 57...I used to walk through many times until I moved a bit away...reading the stones are very humbling at the tragedies of many many families...yes to mention their names is like honouring their life...perhaps it has been many years since anyone has...I really am sad that their is no mention of the names of these poor mites in the common grave...carry on lass you are doing no harm and in an odd way a service to the dead which is good.😃🌠
@ChristophersMum as far as I believe they are buired in that piece of land,along with all the other people who were put into that common ground.There is literally thousands of people in there it's so sad,A lot of children who passed away are in that bit.It breaks my heart.Thats a good question I'm not sure if the widows got paid anything after their husbands passed away.Theres loads of graveyards around where I stay all have people who died in a colliery accident.Its very humbling and very sobering.We do have life so much more easy nowadays
I know It really upset me to think there are so many little babies under that ground.It was just awful back then everyone was getting ill and there wasn't medicine,living conditions were horrible.We are moaning about how we're living today,but we still have it so much better x

It's a very beautiful grave yard, my 2nd and 3rd great grandparents are in Rosskeen churchyard, Rosskeen highland Scotland.
I would love to travel more up north there are some beautiful graveyards up there 😍 x

Beautiful cemetery, from Indiana USA
Glad you enjoyed our video 😀
I'm from Indiana too I love old cemeteries. The cemeteries overseas are more beautiful than ours.

This is so sad😢 my heart is breaking rest in peace all you sweet souls❤
I know It really upset me to think there are so many little babies under that ground.It was just awful back then everyone was getting ill and there wasn't medicine,living conditions were horrible.We are moaning about how we're living today,but we still have it so much better x
It is so good that we remember them. ❤
Definitely x
So....so...so.....so....
It's really heartbreaking x
As the late Brandon lee (crow) would say about graveyards "Safest place in the world to be" x
That is a good quote 👌 I love the crow it's one of my favourites x
Seen some video's from around the world, that isn't always the case people living in them and using them to do drugs and what else..
Great content x
Thank you so much 😀
