    Glad you didn't step in it!! Nasty stuff people do, but to dodo in a person's cemetery resting place is so despicable.

      I often thought back in the Victorian period if the youngster's carved out Tombstones aswell ? They were certainly very young working in the mines and the mills.

    What a beautiful, but creepy, graveyard! How ironic that people are using deadly drugs in a cemetery. They'll wind up in one soon.

    Some of those headstones were the most interesting I’ve seen yet. The grounds were so well-kept. It’s a shame. The vandals ruined some of the Cripts.

    Edinburgh is a beautiful place. I haven been there and also in the rest of Scotland a beautiful country. It is inconceivable that people relieve themselves on a grave. Not respectful. A beautiful cemetery, a pity that the stones are so black. Thank you for the tour Martha

    I was in Edinburgh in November 2022 and was staying in a hotel on Queensferry Road, just a few yards away from St Cuthbert's, and visited St John's Scottish Episcopal Church which is next door to St Cuthbert's and walked around both graveyards - very interesting. I also went into St John's and wow, what an interior, and also the memorials / tablets on the walls to parishioners who had died - mostly military men from the 1800's and from some famous battles and landmarks, like Sevastopol. Also some famous names like Sir John Robison. There is also a tablet to Captain William Bunter who "died instantaneously within this house of God" in 1841 - cardiac arrest maybe?

    Loads of skulls in this graveyard!, must have been a trend of the time there. But you don’t see many 1600 graves, I wonder why. Who needs meditation when you can walk with you around these wonderful graveyards. So relaxing. Love your videos👍

      not uncommon to see in some churchyards to have the grave size on the stone, also you see stones along paths referring to the position of the burial plot "buried 28feet north east of this monument"

    A Fewer/Fewar is apparently the tenant of a Feu, a 'perpetual' property and/or land granted to the tenant (vassal) by a (feudal) superior (Laird? Abbot?) on condition of an annual payment. This is somewhat different to a simple tenant presumably in that as long as the payments are kept up, the property is effectively theirs.
    'Baillie' = Bailliff/Magistrate

  • @brianrowlands9751
    @brianrowlands9751 8 місяців тому +4

    Baillies are civic officials in some towns and cities of Scotland. Fewer may be related to one who holds land on payment of a feu (think 'feudal') or may be a variant spelling based on old French (Le)Fevre - a smith, although combined brewer/blacksmith is probably more likely to be found out in the country rather than in a great city.

    They could stop the damage by making sure the walls and gates work and buying a big security dog to just turn loose in the night hours. Be easier cleaning up after that than the junkies.
