Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of a Medieval Wheel carved stone with twelve flower petals on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Abercorn in West Lothian. Fragments of a wheel cross stone of the 12th century with flower of twelve petals in low relief. The cross stone is believed to have been originally a cover stone for a burial casket. Religion and what people believed in the middle ages was extremely important to them all over Europe and none more so than in Medieval Scotland. Those who were the most dedicated would give up everything to take holy vows to become a monk or a nun, while others would work in monasteries in a lay capacity. When it came to places of worship Medieval Scotland was littered with churches, monasteries, cathedrals, shrines, holy wells and burial grounds. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Abercorn is one of several Outlander locations in the surrounding locality.
