Sea-farers' graves in Holyrood Graveyard
These 2 stones belonging to the Stephen family show the risks faced by sailors. The left-hand stone was erected by Robert Stephen, shipmaster of Newborough, in memory of his wife and family. His daughter, Margaret, died in 1835 aged 4 years, while his three sons were all drowned at sea in 1860 and 1869, aged 23, 17 and 25 years.
This stone shows carved symbols which are appropriate for a seafaring family, including the sun and moon, the Pole Star, several smaller stars and some navigation aids. Religious symbols include an open bible, a deid bell and a coffin on its side, thought to portray untimely deaths.
The other stone remembers shipmaster William Stephen. All of this family lived into their 70s or 80s.

Newburgh: wasp nest
We are perhaps most familiar with those wasp species that build their papery nests in our roof spaces. Some species, however, build their nest underground and, this summer, one colony has built its nest deep under the heather bed in my garden.

In Holyrood Graveyard, Newburgh
The very old grave-slab in the foreground is dated 1752 but it’s impossible to make out any more information. The carved panel shows the symbols of man’s mortality – the open bible, the hour glass, the skull and crossed bones, a deid bell and a coffin.

Newburgh: knee deep in Red Admirals
The day following a major deluge and high winds we were invaded by large numbers of Red Admirals. The following day they were all gone! This one is filling its fuel tanks from an apple on the bird feeder.
