You lucky readers, I haven't blogged about Blairgowrie Cemetery before and it is only a 7 minute walk away. Had an hour wandering around it this evening, as you do. As I have mentioned before, I have a fascination for old headstones, well it is the intricate stone carving I admire. Blairgowrie Cemetery is a mixture of very ancient and very modern headstones. Sad to see how young so many have died or taken their own lives, but that's the circle of life. My father's 2 sisters both died relatively young, and the one I am very similar to died not much older than I am now......gulp! Actually got a bit of a shock when I saw her age on her headstone when I was last up at Comrie. What will be, will be. Lots of Cemetery Randomness for you. Is Randomness a word?

The great operatic tenor Durward Lely is buried there. I would very much like to see a photo of his grave.
Shall see if I can locate it.
