I sat up at attention when you read out the grave of James Fraser. My paternal great Granda James Fraser moved from Scotland to Belfast to work in ship building. His son James Fraser - my Granda, my Da - James Fraser, my brother - James Fraser and his son, my nephew James Fraser lol, all the generations of James Fraser's. Brilliant tour GV! Didn't realize Robby Burns was only 37 when he passed. My Da always celebrated "Robby Burns Day" in homage to his Scottish roots.
That is so cool that you were able to put all your family history together like that! I am thrilled for you. I too had great, great grand parents that originated in Kirkwood, Scotland that immigrated to Belfast, NI where my Da, Granda, and Great Granda were born and raised. My family name is Kirkwood. You are very fortunate. All the best. ♥️☘️
Beautiful cemetery. The tomb of Robert Burns is totally awesome! I did hear the " voices " inside the tomb. Great walking tour, thank you very much GV. Have a great day 😀
Lovely cemetery Cathal! Loved being inside Robert Burns masoleum and yes I heard all those voices. Really great history there. Thank you very much! ♥️☘️
Fantastic video Cathal.. I'm totally gobsmacked with a man's voice mumbling and then a second time before the other people came in. Very cool. Fantastic video GV. I love the really old gravestones with their careers so feckin interesting
I was very interested when you came across the monument to Lindsay Scott. I love finding my name. Hey, you never know. It was a beautiful cemetery, and thank you for the tour. I know Robert Burns is very important to the Scottish people, and they have a Burns Night in January. I'm hoping you come across the surname Ellison sometime. My grandmother's father came from Belfast, Ireland. I actually have pictures of him from here, but I know very little of his life there. Again, thank you for showing us this beautiful cemetery.
What a fascinating story about Robert Burns. How lucky you got to go inside his Mausoleum. Some interesting Gravestones with peoples professions on too. A packed Graveyard there. Very sad story about the Cholera victims, but at least they are in a proper Graveyard and not some unknown place. Thanks for taking us along with you to see these lovely places. Take care 🙂
Wow! Those were some voices!!! I want to try & figure out what they were saying. Did you hear the others at 13:58?👻 Incredible!!! Thanks for the video GV. Hello Sue.🥰
Wow just fantastic place with such beauty brilliant and a famous grave hiding within. Can't wait to see the next one. Thank you. Love and hugs xxxx 🌹🌹🌹
Beautiful amazing cemetary, it has such magnificent gravestones and as you filmed it seems the colors are primarily a brown/ bronze color, all gorgeous, and Burns Mausaleum is so elegant, so sad him and his 2 sons died so young, never had a chance to live a long life together, great video, thanx❤😊❤😊
Wow Robbies mausoleum is very opulent. My dad was a big fan and quoted some of his work on regular occasions. Again the history information was most welcome. 😊 xx
Thanks GV for the tour. I Loved hearing the details of Rabbie Burns’s skull. I do think I saw that cast in the Burns Museum in Alloway. And those sounds in there. 😳
I’ve been learning a lot from watching your videos (and Serenity Sue’s) about the distinct cultural styles in the cemeteries. French, Belgian, Scottish, and Irish cemeteries are all very different from one another. 400+ people wiped out by a terrible disease we don’t even think about any more. All that’s left of that suffering is a plot of grass. A meditation on impermanence…
Robert Burns was truly a good poet you can find alot of his poems on google that was an excellent video GV this is this is probably my favorite poem A Red, Red Rose great vid GV
Tragic that he died so young. But he had an interesting life (and death it seems).Such a beautiful cemetery packed with so much history. Thank you so much GV. God bless 🙏🇦🇺❤xx Teresa
I love how you have very old churches and maintain grave yards. So beautiful. I love going to graveyards and looking at the old head stones. When I got to other states or overseas, I always go to the cemeteries
What a cemetery,poets,justices,shoemakers both great and humble resting along side each other in perpetual peace,top number GV,till the next time mate,stay safe,god bless,🙏🙏👋👋👍🇦🇺
"O my Luve is like a red, red rose.. That’s newly sprung in June;. O my Luve is like the melody.. That’s sweetly played in tune.." I always enjoy reading this poet, thank you for visiting his grave..🙏✨✨🙏..
I'm glad to be able to see such interesting cemeterys and this one is well kept. The EVP's were very interesting as well. It's interesting to learn abit about what folks did to make a living. You don't seem to see that anymore on headstones today, or not as much. We know folks had shoes there.🙂 Take care GV and thank you for teaching us about Mr. Burns. Werid how they took his skull but they did take slides of Albert Einstein as well. Mr. Einstein died in Princeton, N.J. where I used to ride my bike there in the 1980's. If you ever get a chance to visit the college there there is a free museum that is very interesting. Also if you go into town across the street from the main big black gate of the college is a nice pub & eatery place. Sitting at the wooden tables are carvings of past students of the college you can read If you go across the street, through the big gates and stright ahead and go into the building there, they have an elevator. Some time ago two female students who were in the elevator were taken down to the basement a floor they had not wanted to go. The door of the elevator opened and the girls saw Civil War soldiers on stretchers & doctors trying to help them. The girls reported that one man turned around and looked at them and waved his hand like to say; " Come here"... No one else seemed to notice them...but they pushed the up button and the elevator brought them back up. They never used the elevator again So if you ever get to visit please use the stairs. Back in the Civil War days here in America they did use some college rooms as makeshift hospitals and such. I hope you don't mind me sharing that little bit of history -- Folks -- talking about college kids there I guess don't think of how many folks from the war were buried here & there on the Princeton campus and have been forgotten about. Well I hope the weather holds out for you and I wish you a bunch of this for good luck🌈☘️🌈🍀🌈☘️🌈 (I had to edit the date to 1980's, somehow it showed up as 1880's😮)
Seems quite a nice resting place. One thing stuck out to me, what kind of stone where all the headstones because it didn’t seem like there was any wear on them.
Wow didn't realise R.Burns was so young when he died sure it said he was 37 😮 Another enjoyable video from our man GV..Rest in peace to all the people who lost there lives to Cholera 😢 🙏
If you ever get the chance to come across the pond to America…there’s a wonderful cemetery in Louisville Kentucky…….id love to see you both visit there!..many famous people there… thank you for suffering wet feet and brambles for us!
GV, I noticed at 2.26 minutes into the video a person ran behind a large tomb stone on the right hand side of the video, the figure was dressed in white, could it have been a ghost, Perhaps you were being followed around the cemetery? I loved the video thank you..
Beautiful video of an old Cemetery in Dumfries Cathal. Hopefully one day you'll do some cemeteries in Edinburgh, and maybe you'll run across my Great-grandparents' grave in Edinburgh.
Beautiful graveyard. So interesting about Burn’s skull!! Like they be took Einsteins brain to see what made him a genius. Such history everywhere i n this graveyard ! Thanks GV!💕
Beautiful crypt for Robert Burns and his family❤ Glad you got to go in😊 I heard a womens voice in there was it Sue? Cool that some had what they did in life on the stones❤
I have always thought I was Irish but I also am Scottish. That was a surprise. And Danish. I love the video you make. That you for the history and education of the country.
As you entered the Burns mausoleum, there were lots of low voices, but the first very clearly in a woman’s voice said “idiots”, the rest seemed to be multiple voices speaking at once even when the living walked in.
Noticed more tabletop monuments in this cemetery. Wonder why people would choose this type of monument if the writing fades over time. But, of course, who knew back then.
Why do people talk to each other when someone is telling the story of the person? That drives me nuts. It was hard to make out what the voices said which is a shame. May Mr Burns rest in peace. I think a lot of the spirits love people visiting them reading their headstones and hearing stories about them.
Talking about skulls, i read somewhere that when Beethoven and Schubert were exhumed to be moved to something "nicer," the composer Anton Bruckner, a great admirer of both, held the skulls in his hands and started kissed them (to which the officials quickly put a stop).
I sat up at attention when you read out the grave of James Fraser. My paternal great Granda James Fraser moved from Scotland to Belfast to work in ship building.

Beautiful cemetery. The tomb of Robert Burns is totally awesome!
I did hear the " voices " inside the tomb. Great walking tour, thank you very much GV. Have a great day 😀
Beautiful graveyard, how nice you got inside
The plow on the relief in the mausoleum is to remind folks of his humble beginnings as a farmer.
Here in the States, the cemeteries are getting lazy. They discourage families from having above ground stones for ease of cutting grass:/
Lovely cemetery Cathal! Loved being inside Robert Burns masoleum and yes I heard all those voices. Really great history there. Thank you very much! ♥️☘️
I love the old stones that include more details about the person. I could read them all! Thank you, GV!
Glad you like them! They are beautiful for sure
Very interesting to see Robert Burns mausoleum. What a beautiful tribute! As always you are greatly appreciated.
Thanks Hazel ❤️
Robert Burns, well-loved in my childhood home. Such a gorgeous memorial for him.

Great Video thanks GV for making it . It ashame that they haft to take someone skull just to do research on it let the dead be
All to make a cast seems bit disrespectful for sure Jamie
Wow! Those were some voices!!! I want to try & figure out what they were saying. Did you hear the others at 13:58?👻 Incredible!!! Thanks for the video GV. Hello Sue.🥰
That one was creepy 😬
thought I heard "help me" Here in Nebraska USA & of Scot/Irish heritage.
" help me , please"😮@@LindaCork-ni7vl
Wow just fantastic place with such beauty brilliant and a famous grave hiding within. Can't wait to see the next one. Thank you. Love and hugs xxxx 🌹🌹🌹
Wow GV! This place is packed with history. How lucky for us that you could enter the Burns memorial. The voices! 😲 Beautiful tour. Thanks GV!
Crazy stuff toms could also hear a woman's voice like she was answering him back. Even in the afterlife the woman has the last say 😂
There are ghost whispers as you walked in. very significant
Excellent video!!! Thank you.
I look forward to your videos, and the history you share during your walks.
That mass grave is so sad
This was a Good one, GV❤👍
Thanks GV! Great video!
Fascinating again. Thanks GV. Lots of interest there in Dumfries, eh?

Robert Burns mausoleum was in fabulous condition. Fresh paint and the glass you were filming through was very clean
Thats a very fine mausoleum for Robbie Burns
Beautiful cemetery and impressive memorial and crypt for Robert Burns, Nice that the tour guide showed up.

Looking foreward to this❤
Scottish accents are my favorite..
I love the accent hard to understand tho lol
This was so interesting . Great video ❤

Tragic that he died so young. But he had an interesting life (and death it seems).Such a beautiful cemetery packed with so much history. Thank you so much GV. God bless 🙏🇦🇺❤xx Teresa
My Mc Curdy family fought with George Washington for this God bless America.
I love how you have very old churches and maintain grave yards. So beautiful. I love going to graveyards and looking at the old head stones. When I got to other states or overseas, I always go to the cemeteries

My Halliday family are buried here . 🐨💗 my GGGGranda is in the cholera pit 😔 others buried elsewhere is that cemetery.

Love the video from Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘🌏🌏🌏 so nice day out walk today

Love it
Sometimes I think those secret societies do things like that
Like skull and bones secret society also Illuminati
It was funny to catch the caretaker trying to hide his bottle. You pointed out the blue placks(?) but I wish that you mentioned what they meant.
They are notable people
@@GraveVisitations Thank you
There were whispers when you first went in
Robert Burns, great poetry. I5s sad about the collra victims.
Beautiful old cemetery ! Very well maintained and the mausoleum was beautiful.
Thank you to the caretaker .he is a wealth of knowledge.
Wow didn't realise R.Burns was so young when he died sure it said he was 37 😮 Another enjoyable video from our man GV..Rest in peace to all the people who lost there lives to Cholera 😢 🙏
If you ever get the chance to come across the pond to America…there’s a wonderful cemetery in Louisville Kentucky…….id love to see you both visit there!..many famous people there… thank you for suffering wet feet and brambles for us!
Hopefully if we win the lottery lol

It's a woman walking looking around
Wow beautiful mosoleum
Hello Cousins in Scotland the Isle of Bute the Mc Curdy family
Looking at Mr. Craken's stone, it's sad that over time, many more of those lettered chips of that "puzzle" will fall away, making it harder to read.
Beautiful video of an old Cemetery in Dumfries Cathal. Hopefully one day you'll do some cemeteries in Edinburgh, and maybe you'll run across my Great-grandparents' grave in Edinburgh.
I have done videos in Edinburgh Joel
@@GraveVisitations I have seen them. Great job 👏 👍🏻
Nice to know his skull wasn’t stolen. We know now bones would give no indication of genius 😊
Beautiful graveyard. So interesting about Burn’s skull!! Like they be took Einsteins brain to see what made him a genius. Such history everywhere i n this graveyard ! Thanks GV!💕
They definitely wouldn't take my brain 🤣
@@GraveVisitationsmine either😂

Beautiful crypt for Robert Burns and his family❤ Glad you got to go in😊 I heard a womens voice in there was it Sue? Cool that some had what they did in life on the stones❤
The trees and ferns look as if they sought shelter in that stone structure at the end of the video, a kind of botanical garden!
I have always thought I was Irish but I also am Scottish. That was a surprise. And Danish. I love the video you make. That you for the history and education of the country.
Those voices are very strange
Beautiful place
It really is!
Beautiful grave yard a lot of history
Love the Scottish accent! my great granddad was born in Edinburgh. It reminds me of him
Enjoyed that have been to dumfries
Thanks Angela for watching
RIP to all who died and buried in the cemetery 🪦
My wife's family goes back to Robert Burns
A lot of history and older graves!
Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
Got lucky for sure
As you entered the Burns mausoleum, there were lots of low voices, but the first very clearly in a woman’s voice said “idiots”, the rest seemed to be multiple voices speaking at once even when the living walked in.
Yes i can hear voices 😮
Yes I did hear that and I'm sitting yelling at you to get out 🤣
Beautiful place!
Noticed more tabletop monuments in this cemetery. Wonder why people would choose this type of monument if the writing fades over time. But, of course, who knew back then.
Cemeteries in Europe are so much different from the United States. Everything is above ground.
Burns is depicted with being found by the angel with his hand still at the plow. Jesus in Luke 9 v 2 speaks that such are fit to enter the Kingdom
They need to go in and clip the overgrowth back in that open top mausoleum
Why do people talk to each other when someone is telling the story of the person? That drives me nuts. It was hard to make out what the voices said which is a shame. May Mr Burns rest in peace. I think a lot of the spirits love people visiting them reading their headstones and hearing stories about them.
Fabulous cemetery nicest one yet..ty
it was a very intersting and creepy walk. I could here voice inside the mausoleum and also after when you continued your walk. Could you too??
@@marypoppins74100 absolutely I know what they said but I'll let you people listen 😁💀
