Summary

The graveyards and cemeteries of Perthshire contain many fascinating historical tales, often with interesting superstitions attached. In this book Scottish historian Charlotte Golledge takes readers on a tour through the history of Perthshire's burial grounds. Perthshire is known as the gateway to the Highlands and is home to many Clan graveyards. The last resting place of Rob Roy MacGregor is at Balquhidder. The city of Perth's numerous churches, graveyards and cemeteries reveal its importance in the history of Scotland from the mediaeval era, including Greyfriars Burial Ground, to the present day. Dunkeld's cathedral draws many but many other towns and villages in Perthshire have fascinating burial stories to tell, including the fascinating monuments at Tibbermore. Together, these are the tales of real people of Scotland told through their deaths and burials.
