An 18th century symbolic gravestone at Nenthorn Old Cemetery

The Death’s head skull and crossed femur bones are symbols of mortality while the winged soul above is a symbol of the immortality of the human soul. The upside down heart above normally signifies death while the star and flower on either side are symbols of immortality. A list has been made of the gravestone information and inscriptions which is housed in a small box by the entrance gate to the cemetery. This stone is numbered 55 with the following inscription:- Here lyes James Cairns tenant in Nenthorn who died 11.9.1706 aged 57 years Also Janet Trotter his spouse who died 11.2.1725 aged 63 years

Ruined buildings near Wester Muirdean north of Kelso

The ruin was once a block of four farm cottages. The man in the photograph has bought the property and has set about restoring it and converting to a family home. I look forward to his progress and wish him good luck.
