Synopsis
Publisher's Synopsis:
A comprehensive study of Scotland's eighteenth century gravestones and illustrated with over one hundred and twenty photographs. Each of these stones and hundreds of others which are worth recording and of preservation , has its own special identity: the common identity which they share is the way they reflect life in 18th century Scotland when the minds and the hearts of people were filled with superstitions , religious beliefs, hopes and fears; a time when there was a major preoccupation with the struggle to live.
