Bro & I headed towards Rhynd graveyard today but as usual there were many distractions and LoLs on the way there and back.
Researching the area last night.
SPiS info about Rhynd.
We headed down a private road but it just took us to a dead end. We got close to the shores of the Tay and above ma heid is Kinnoul Hill with Walnut Grove to the left.
Elcho castle was closed today!!
A strange ghostly tapping could be heard coming from one of the castles windows.
We had an edition of Geoff Holdens 'Mysterious Perthshire' (signed copy) with us and read about a Witches grave at nearby Rhynd...Oooooh!
The doocot at Elcho, site of the days first LoL as Bro slipped and almost fell.
The first signs of flooding as the snow started to thaw.

Thought I might have to throw this to Bro had he gone in the water.

Baltic condititions at the graveyard. We had to weather a sleet storm and arctic winds.

This was the most interesting epitaph I found.

Looking up.

Another LoL as I bang my eyebrow on the shackles.
