Tour Scotland Video William Taylor Stone Carver Gravestone Abbotshall Churchyard Kirkcaldy Fife

Tour Scotland video of the William Taylor, Stone Carver, gravestone in Abbotshall Churchyard cemetery on ancestry visit to Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. The craft of stonemasonry, or stonecraft, has existed since humanity could use and make tools, creating buildings, structures, and sculpture using stone from the earth. These materials have been used to construct many of the long-lasting, ancient monuments, artifacts, cathedrals, and cities in a wide variety of cultures. Carvers used their artistic ability to carve stone into foliage, figures, animals or abstract designs.
