It sounds like a very interesting way to spend some of your time in Scotland, doing something that you enjoyed and maintaining the grave stones for others to enjoy in the future.

I have never had such a rewarding hobby and can't wait to get back to do it again. It really does satisfy a parched desire to touch history. They are always happy to have new volunteer members. Sue.

I'm sorry I don't know of any good resources for information about the meaning of various symbols on headstones. Hi Karin, reassuring to know that i’m not the only one who likes visiting graveyards.

I also like to visit graveyards - here (California) and in Great Britain. (Actually, anywhere I travel.) I'm trying to find more informaiton about the symbols on the grave stones and on the tombs I have seen in the cathedrals in Great Britain. For instance (but not all inclusive) what does it mean when a knight's feet are crossed or not, the position of the hands, the presence of a lamb or lion, etc. Do you know of some good web sites or books that would have this kind of info? Thank you for your attention. Karin Hi. I also like to visit graveyards - here (California) and in Great Britain. (Actually, anywhere I travel.)
