Tour Scotland Photograph Shipowner Gravestone Greyfriars Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland photograph of a Shipowner gravestone in Greyfriars Cemetery in Perth, Scotland. Perth was once one of the richest trading burghs in Scotland, along with such towns as Berwick, Aberdeen and Roxburgh. The town also carried out an extensive trade with the Continent, and examples of foreign luxury goods have been recovered from excavations within the town, for example, Spanish silk, fine pottery from France; wine will also have been a major import, not least for the use of the Church. The main destinations were France, the Low Countries and the Baltic.
