Remember you and Lembo running about the sports centre with all us Kirk Street and Langloan ones, sitting here listening to your music and songs in Turkey 🇹🇷 keep going buddy my wife loves your stuff 🎤🎸
It shows you the power of the clerics back then when illiteracy was rife they had no understanding of mental health issues back they did not exist back then.
So it was Captain by local elections of the carter's association. ?
This is by far the finest video I have ever seen. I've been in this graveyard. The background information is invaluable. You background made this alive to myself.
hey jinky ,greetings fae bonnie dundee, better later than never . to say hello again .
Loving these wee films man 👍 from an old irvine boy.
Reference to a fair is made in 1386, when King Robert II granted land to build the Tolbooth, for a nominal rent to be paid on the Festival of the Blessed Virgin Mary, held on the 15th of August - which eventually became known simply as 'Marymass'.
Not Murmiss but Marymass
Hey JJ, This short Doco - Does NOT do you justice Geez! Your a great songwriter!
There's a high likelihood that JJ won't see your comment, as this is in fact a documentary on MY account, that I had a hand in creating. Agreed, a 15 minute runtime does not do this man justice, however, the selection of his music included in this piece more than proves his abilities as a songwriter. Something I'm sure you will agree with. I'll pass on your detailed and well-crafted expertise to my peers 😊
Thank you for your work... Do you know if David Dick or Dickson one of the ministers of the church in the 1600's is buried there in the church yard?
Thank you. I was just talking to a friend in Irvine about the wit he of Scotland. He shared this video. I’ve subbed. X
Thanks for watching and subbing Audrey! Hopefully have more content on the way in the near future, it's been too long :D
Brilliant work! 👏
Thanks for that interesting presentation. The ignorance of the so-called educated people cost many innocents their lives. All very sad.
Thanks Ian! Yeah, very sad indeed, and a level of injustice and prejudice that's still present hundreds of years later. Hopefully more memorials can be placed in remembrance, in Irvine too. Thanks for watching!
Bravo fine Sir 😎
Very honest and enlightening. Thanks JJ.. can relate on so.many levels.
Wee Jinky, always been a fan…
Would Billy know of anything about the grounds on which Cunningham House is built (good reason for asking). Were women ever incarcerated in a building on that spot??? Would be grateful if he could shed some light on something I've thought about for years.
Brilliant videos. Wish there was more! Missing marymass these last few years hopefully get it back up and running next year🤞🏻
At least ye huv shoes and socks on JJ :)
lovely
Thank you for that JJ. You lay yourself bare and I admire that equally as much as your voice. I so look forward to seeing you once again live in concert.
Gorgeous report, thanks for it Jinky
been to that graveyard to look for me ancestors can you help me plz???
Hi Angie, if you add me on Facebook (same name and profile picture) I could put you in touch with Billy who can help☺️
@@krisballantyne4262 certainly will and thanks 👌
Brilliant documentary!
Once again, a spectacular video. Really enjoying these- thanks to everyone involved!
Another fantastic video! Thoroughly enjoyed.
Thanks you Mr Skies, much appreciated!
Absolutely fantastic presentation. The phenomenal videography and audio accompanied by Billy’s enthusiasm and depth of knowledge of local history makes for a captivating watch. Look forward to the next instalment.
Thanks very much Gordon, we appreciate that! Mass Graves of the Maritime releases on Thursday at 2PM :)
Couldn’t agree more with above comment, subscribed.
Well presented and well filmed.
Amazing info ,I’ve stayed in Irvine for over 45 yrs and still fascinated by our history, I would honestly say it’s one of the historic places in the uk, kings queens and witchcraft all rolled into 1
Delightful, thank you. Just one thought about the grave of Robert Montgomery for his wife. The winged skull at the top represents the spirit or soul of the deceased ascending to heaven. It was thought that the soul would leave the body and rise up to heaven when called to do so. This, they thought, may be well after death, by which time the human remains would be just bones. More normally the winged spirit is shown with flesh on it, but not uncommon to see it shown as a skull.
Thanks for your comment and for watching Landy! You're correct in saying that a winged-soul signifies the soul leaving the body at death to go to heaven. On a winged-soul carving the head is always a cherub with an angelic appearance. This isn't a cherub's head with wings but a nasty devilish skull with wings, to warn and scare the onlooker.There are plenty of winged souls in most graveyards of this time period but "winged death", like this one, is a much rarer occurrence and quite unique 😁
The position of the image on the gravestone (at the top heading up to heaven) and its wings distinguishes the symbol from a Deathhead and I suggest puts it in the category of winged spirit. There are plenty of similar skulls with wings symbolising such in Scottish Graveyards, particularly in The Borders and parts of Perthshire. There are some in North Northumberland too. But part of the fascination of stones of this age is the creativity of the stonemason, who sadly are completely anonymous despite their extraordinary skill.

Love this.. Please do more videos featuring Billy.. Great insight and story telling.
We'll have three more coming in August, John 😁 subscribe and keep an eye out for those. Thanks for watching!
Such fascinating facts and a wonderful view of the cemetery. Billy is good at telling the stories of the people buried there.
Billy really does know his stuff, thanks for watching!
It really is rather good Kris!
Thank you very much kind sir! Much appreciated ❤️
