Anstruther Wester Churchyard

Anstruther Wester Churchyard
The gravestone on the left dates to 1626.

Although reduced from its medieval area, the graveyard still contains much of interest – the... stone coffin of St Adrian, table-top tombs bearing carvings of a ship and Masonic symbols between the pillars of Solomon’s temple. Quoted from the Dreel Halls website

Anstruther... is a small coastal resort town in Fife, Scotland, situated on the north-shore of the Firth of Forth and 9 mi (14 km) south-southeast of St Andrews. The town comprises two settlements, Anstruther Easter and Anstruther Wester, which are divided by a stream, the Dreel Burn. With a population of 3,500, it is the largest community on the Firth of Forth's north-shore coastline known as the East Neuk. To the east, it merges with the village of Cellardyke.

I love the colours and textures in this one Joe. How interesting these old gravestones are. It's a little frustrating not to be able to read the inscriptions very well, or even at all, in may graveyards.
Cheers, Rosa.

Yes, in some of the cemeteries the inscriptions have worn away because they are so old. In some of the other graveyards the inscriptions have been worn away by constant rainwater. Thanks for your very kind comment, Rosa. Cheers, Joe

We loved this corner of Anstruther by the Dreel Burn. I long to visit Scotland again, but we're not sure where to stay in safety.

I long to visit Fife again, Amelia. I don't know when it will be. Maybe next summer. All the best, Joe
