Tour Scotland Video Photographs St Vigeans Graveyard Arbroath Angus

Tour Scotland video of photographs of St Vigeans graveyard and cemetery on ancestry visit to Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. St Vigeans Church, built of the local red sandstone, served as parish church to the inhabitants of Arbroath up to the Reformation. The 18th century headstones in the kirkyard, some of which are notably well carved, are interesting examples of folk-art, characteristic of Angus. There was once a legend that the kirk was built with stones used by an enslaved Kelpie, and for several years the local congregation would not enter the kirk during certain services for fear the building would collapse due to the Kelpie's curse.
