Arbroath Western Cemetery. A grand, green place with an iconic red mortuary chapel.

on this trip we visit the Western Cemetery in the Scottish town of Arbroath. A grand place in more ways than one, it hosts the great and the good from the town's maritime industrial heydey as well as ‪@commonwealthwargraves‬ covering almost 80 years of the town's contribution to the defence of the British Empire.

Hey DeNiro 🐾🙂 That large Celtic cross is amazing, so much work involved to make it look woven like that. Some really impressive stones. Did giggle at the mason's own very grand one 😀
