Thank you, D G W. Two of my dear Stirling friends from circa 1993 to 2009 (during which I obtained a B A (Hons.) 1997, from studying at the University of Stirling), have their own personal Truths to tell, regarding Logie Old Kirk. Firstly, my friend, Ian, has his Grandfather buried there. He was worried that the rabbits were consuming the flower tributes he put upon the grave. He then put up a little cage of 'chicken wire', which helped immensely. Secondly, dear George Tierney exclaimed when asked where he needed to be buried: 'Logie Old Kirk, Where My Family Are!'. George died a few years later and is now beside his ancestors. 💚 Bye for now. Rab 🍻😎 🕊 🕊
Amazing to see the norse graves. I did some serious ancestry research as im related to the Stirling family, as in Sir David Stirling founder of the SAS, whos family home was Kier house near Stirling. They gained the name Stirling thanks to many centuries prior the Scottish king who traveled to Mercia with the aim of finding a noble to serve as Sheriff of his lands in the Stirling area. He found the daughter of the King of Mercia had married a Norman who you can trace his family back to Vikings who settled in Normandy. He gave him lands in Alva near what we now call Stirling and gave him the title of Sheriff of Stirling, hence why the name then became the family name. When he became Sheriff it was part of the deal that he took with him people to populate the area. Many would have been Normans with a Viking background.
There probably is an old Viking sight underneath. Many of my Scottish ancestors allegedly were also Norman and prior to the Norman's Viking. All very interesting.
First time to your channel very interesting and quite the history. I was a so sorry to see how no respect for the dead when the lady was walking on the graves and amazing cemetery
Please go to Logierait church near Pitlochry. It still has 3 cremation baskets. Large,medium, and small on display. There's 2 graveyards, one old and one new. My second son used to laugh and said they were saving money when I die and putting me in there. He also stated he was putting potatoes wrapped in tinfoil with me for everyone's dinner.😂😂😂
The women we met there was lovely, I'm sure she'd be happy to help if you have links to the area. Otherwise findagrave or ancestry is a great place to start
Oh what a delight she is! Bloody marvelous video!
Wow! So lucky that nice lady met you to help with the tour! I learned a lot! Thank you for the video!

Some ancient graves there. I love the old skull carvings. Your videos are very calming.
Great tour! Now we have learned what some of the symbols mean too. A very knowledgeable lady. You are knowledgeable too, of course.

Most welcome Julie, Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so cool. I descend from Grahams and Forbes. It's my family. Thank you.
Just wonderful! Thank you!
Very interesting! Have been there 10 days ago. Like it very much.
Interesting. Another example of an ant-bodysnatcher watch house. I liked the chi-ro symbol on the gate at the Grahams plaques.
I was just there! Beautiful site!
The audacious vanity of those on the front of that old empty/ abandoned church! They actually paid to be noticed...
Absolutely beautiful place. ❤
That was amazing !!!

Unless you can remember her name I'm going to assume that was Professor McGonagall working there during summer break.
I was here today
Did you enjoy it?
@@deadgoodwalks very much , I have also visited ancient relics sites in Aberdeen and wallace monument in last 2 days . Been Amazing
Part of my ancestry....is scottish, I wonder if I am related to any one there.
The women we met there was lovely, I'm sure she'd be happy to help if you have links to the area. Otherwise findagrave or ancestry is a great place to start
This is my ancestors grave yard....
That lady was real nice
The lady is nice, but most of what she said is not understandable.
Muddled.....
That'll be the thick Stirling accent. Loved it
