Inverness had the most interesting ... can't forget the kirkyard on the hill in MacDuff, found a headstone with my sister's full name. Will never forget her face when I showed it to her!

Boston has some really interesting ones too. You can clearly see the evolution of artwork in the head stones, and it says a lot about the contemporary society. .-= Whitney´s last blog ..<a href="http://waxwendy.blogspot.com/2010/01/musicmonday-replacements.html" rel="nofollow">#musicmonday: The Replacements</a> =-.
