Tour Scotland photograph taken inside the Mortuary House in the Parish churchyard cemetery in Abdie, North Fife, Scotland. The Mortuary House in Abdie Kirkyard dates from the 18th century and stands to the south of the entrance gate. It was used to store coffins prior to funerals. In archaeology and anthropology a mortuary house is any purpose built structure, often resembling a normal dwelling in many ways, in which a dead body is buried.
