    Re: Robert Louis Stevenson - Louis is pronounced ‘Lewis’. He was a famous novelist. He wrote Treasure Island, Kidnapped and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and many more. I grew up in the sixties reading his stories and watching them turned into tv series and films. He was a gifted writer 👍🏻😊❤

      @@joanhatten6569 I just seen a channel that a town near San Francisco that they moved a grave yard to build housing and several years later a home owner was having some work done on the house, they found a little coffin with a window in it, a little girl that was close to four years old or about four years old. A private charity group paid to have her placed in a cemetery and have a head stone. Now that would bother me a lot. To know she was laying under my home. I wouldn’t of ever wanted to lived in a place even if the bodies had been removed from a cemetery.

That sounds like they just moved the headstone and didn't move the little angels body. So sad, that there makes me mad. That's the only reason about living next to one, you don't know if they moved the bodies. But I wouldn't mind if they did what they were suppose to. But other than that I would live next to one

    Edinburgh's such a stunning place generally and there's always something to look at. It's years since I was last there though. I used to go for work with my old job as an auditor, as the Edinburgh office was one of the ones in our remit and it was on of those trips I first went on the Old Edinburgh and Greyfriars Kirkyard ghost walks one night. I've not been round this one, though. You ought to pop down to Sheffield if you can and come and do a tour of the General Cemetery, where there's some of Sheffield's great and good (and probably not-so-good) buried and some of the stones and monuments are beautiful! One of the chapels there (it has two) now hosts events every few months.

      That's what I'd like to know too! Is a Mausoluem a monument to a person only or are their remains/ashes buried there too? I did pose this question to Dan but haven't heard back.🇦🇺

      @@mirandarosman3721 I think in most cases the person or their ashes are buried beneath. In my area and many others, waterlogging and flooding used to regularly un-bury the dead-next-door and bones would be dislodged, so to speak. Proliferation of tiny homes for the many poor workers of times gone by received most of them and the slurry too.

      @daisyleigh5806 thankyou for your reply. That explains it! Thankyou. It's so sad though that waterlogging, etc over time has dislodged the poor souls. Feel sad for them to end up like that. Cheers🇦🇺

    You can use a endoscope with light to look inside the mausoleums and crypts i think it is interesting to to see what happens after death

    It is highly unlikely that Rizzio is buried here, he was a Catholic and his burial in consecrated Presbyterian ground would be unacceptable. It seems likely that he was buried somewhere in the grounds of the Palace or in the old Royal Vaults of the Stuarts

    • @madgevanness4011

      Was the church originally Roman? Or would it be an insult to bury him in “unconsecrated” ground.

    Please can I ask why do some of them look like they have been burnt. I don't know what was going to be done with the ones with the railings around , but you only own a plot for 100 years .

    • @rachaelghostcat8584
      @rachaelghostcat8584 Před rokem

      They look burnt because of the pollution in the air discolours the stone after so many years. They have railing around them to protect the grave, because back in the day it was notorious for body snatchers who sold cadavers for anatomical research.

    • @sarahgt1533
      @sarahgt1533 Před rokem +6

      Years ago there was a lot of cole fires and smoke from the factories that hung in the air which affects the stone, particularly when it rains and sticks to the stone. 10 Downing street used to originally be yellow brick but due to the smog and smoke the bricks became covered in soot, when they went to clean it in more modern times they had forgotten it was originally yellow brick and decided to keep it black. I'm full of useless info lol x
