Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of an old Skeleton gravestone in Greyfriars Kirkyard on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Edinburgh. The skull and crossbones death head depicted on headstones were commonly used as Memento Mori symbols in the 16th to 17th centuries. They were a warning to us all that we cannot avoid death and no matter what our status is in life, we are all the same.
