Robert Burns died at the age of 37, in 1796, from a rheumatic heart condition. Jean Armour gave birth to their last son, Maxwell, on the day of her husband's funeral.
I sat up at attention when you read out the grave of James Fraser. My paternal great Granda James Fraser moved from Scotland to Belfast to work in ship building. His son James Fraser - my Granda, my Da - James Fraser, my brother - James Fraser and his son, my nephew James Fraser lol, all the generations of James Fraser's. Brilliant tour GV! Didn't realize Robby Burns was only 37 when he passed. My Da always celebrated "Robby Burns Day" in homage to his Scottish roots.
That is so cool that you were able to put all your family history together like that! I am thrilled for you. I too had great, great grand parents that originated in Kirkwood, Scotland that immigrated to Belfast, NI where my Da, Granda, and Great Granda were born and raised. My family name is Kirkwood. You are very fortunate. All the best. ♥️☘️
Beautiful cemetery. The tomb of Robert Burns is totally awesome! I did hear the " voices " inside the tomb. Great walking tour, thank you very much GV. Have a great day 😀
Thank you so much for taking me to a place I would never be able to visit! I love Robert Burns’ poetry and feel blessed by your extensive exploration of his gravesite.
How wonderful to see the resting place of the great Rabbie Burns. Those voices though! Spirits seem to love you GV. Thank you for another fantastic video
I was very interested when you came across the monument to Lindsay Scott. I love finding my name. Hey, you never know. It was a beautiful cemetery, and thank you for the tour. I know Robert Burns is very important to the Scottish people, and they have a Burns Night in January. I'm hoping you come across the surname Ellison sometime. My grandmother's father came from Belfast, Ireland. I actually have pictures of him from here, but I know very little of his life there. Again, thank you for showing us this beautiful cemetery.
This is the first video I’ve watched of your channel. Very impressed with your level of respect and insight to the interred. I’ve now subscribed to your channel in preference to ‘Dead Good Walks’ to which I’ve unsubscribed as he seems - in my opinion - quite ignorant towards his commenters, even though they may go to lengths and considerable time in preparing useful information for him in regards headstone inscriptions etc. Being myself of Italian origin, I hope you visit Italy and visit the Italian cemeteries. I can certainly help you out in the comments with translations and insights to inscriptions. All the best.
Fantastic video Cathal.. I'm totally gobsmacked with a man's voice mumbling and then a second time before the other people came in. Very cool. Fantastic video GV. I love the really old gravestones with their careers so feckin interesting
Lovely cemetery Cathal! Loved being inside Robert Burns masoleum and yes I heard all those voices. Really great history there. Thank you very much! ♥️☘️
Wow just fantastic place with such beauty brilliant and a famous grave hiding within. Can't wait to see the next one. Thank you. Love and hugs xxxx 🌹🌹🌹
What an utterly breathtaking place. Such beautiful graves and well 'loved' and maintained. Lovely colours too - red sandstone? Love the stones that tell a story of a past life well lived. Could have listened to this forever. Wonderful.
What a fascinating story about Robert Burns. How lucky you got to go inside his Mausoleum. Some interesting Gravestones with peoples professions on too. A packed Graveyard there. Very sad story about the Cholera victims, but at least they are in a proper Graveyard and not some unknown place. Thanks for taking us along with you to see these lovely places. Take care 🙂
Wow! Those were some voices!!! I want to try & figure out what they were saying. Did you hear the others at 13:58?👻 Incredible!!! Thanks for the video GV. Hello Sue.🥰
Thanks GV for the tour. I Loved hearing the details of Rabbie Burns’s skull. I do think I saw that cast in the Burns Museum in Alloway. And those sounds in there. 😳
Beautiful amazing cemetary, it has such magnificent gravestones and as you filmed it seems the colors are primarily a brown/ bronze color, all gorgeous, and Burns Mausaleum is so elegant, so sad him and his 2 sons died so young, never had a chance to live a long life together, great video, thanx❤😊❤😊
"O my Luve is like a red, red rose.. That’s newly sprung in June;. O my Luve is like the melody.. That’s sweetly played in tune.." I always enjoy reading this poet, thank you for visiting his grave..🙏✨✨🙏..
OMG! I put headphones on to listen to the voices. Sure as heck, I could hear a woman and other voices. Couldn't make out what they were saying! Good catch. Love your video's. You can also hear voices while walking around.
I’ve been learning a lot from watching your videos (and Serenity Sue’s) about the distinct cultural styles in the cemeteries. French, Belgian, Scottish, and Irish cemeteries are all very different from one another. 400+ people wiped out by a terrible disease we don’t even think about any more. All that’s left of that suffering is a plot of grass. A meditation on impermanence…
Wow Robbies mausoleum is very opulent. My dad was a big fan and quoted some of his work on regular occasions. Again the history information was most welcome. 😊 xx
I'm glad to be able to see such interesting cemeterys and this one is well kept. The EVP's were very interesting as well. It's interesting to learn abit about what folks did to make a living. You don't seem to see that anymore on headstones today, or not as much. We know folks had shoes there.🙂 Take care GV and thank you for teaching us about Mr. Burns. Werid how they took his skull but they did take slides of Albert Einstein as well. Mr. Einstein died in Princeton, N.J. where I used to ride my bike there in the 1980's. If you ever get a chance to visit the college there there is a free museum that is very interesting. Also if you go into town across the street from the main big black gate of the college is a nice pub & eatery place. Sitting at the wooden tables are carvings of past students of the college you can read If you go across the street, through the big gates and stright ahead and go into the building there, they have an elevator. Some time ago two female students who were in the elevator were taken down to the basement a floor they had not wanted to go. The door of the elevator opened and the girls saw Civil War soldiers on stretchers & doctors trying to help them. The girls reported that one man turned around and looked at them and waved his hand like to say; " Come here"... No one else seemed to notice them...but they pushed the up button and the elevator brought them back up. They never used the elevator again So if you ever get to visit please use the stairs. Back in the Civil War days here in America they did use some college rooms as makeshift hospitals and such. I hope you don't mind me sharing that little bit of history -- Folks -- talking about college kids there I guess don't think of how many folks from the war were buried here & there on the Princeton campus and have been forgotten about. Well I hope the weather holds out for you and I wish you a bunch of this for good luck🌈☘️🌈🍀🌈☘️🌈 (I had to edit the date to 1980's, somehow it showed up as 1880's😮)
Tragic that he died so young. But he had an interesting life (and death it seems).Such a beautiful cemetery packed with so much history. Thank you so much GV. God bless 🙏🇦🇺❤xx Teresa
Wow didn't realise R.Burns was so young when he died sure it said he was 37 😮 Another enjoyable video from our man GV..Rest in peace to all the people who lost there lives to Cholera 😢 🙏
Robert Burns was truly a good poet you can find alot of his poems on google that was an excellent video GV this is this is probably my favorite poem A Red, Red Rose great vid GV
What a cemetery,poets,justices,shoemakers both great and humble resting along side each other in perpetual peace,top number GV,till the next time mate,stay safe,god bless,🙏🙏👋👋👍🇦🇺
Beautiful graveyard. So interesting about Burn’s skull!! Like they be took Einsteins brain to see what made him a genius. Such history everywhere i n this graveyard ! Thanks GV!💕
I love how you have very old churches and maintain grave yards. So beautiful. I love going to graveyards and looking at the old head stones. When I got to other states or overseas, I always go to the cemeteries
Seems quite a nice resting place. One thing stuck out to me, what kind of stone where all the headstones because it didn’t seem like there was any wear on them.
Did Robert Burns write the poem, " My Love is Like a red, red Rose"? What an interesting episode. Thank you so much. Stay safe and keep well. Zora in Australia.
Beautiful crypt for Robert Burns and his family❤ Glad you got to go in😊 I heard a womens voice in there was it Sue? Cool that some had what they did in life on the stones❤
I have always thought I was Irish but I also am Scottish. That was a surprise. And Danish. I love the video you make. That you for the history and education of the country.
My G’kids think I’m a dinosaur when it comes to my “tales” memories of pre university school. I was in the generation where there were no accelerated classes, only classes to prepare you for life after high school. We studied all the subjects from Greek and Roman subjects to all authors up to the beginning of the twentieth century. Such a great education and all of it was free until University. I still answer the questions they ask me and I challenge they to do extra to learn more. I’m 76 and believe I had a great public school education. Robert Burns was one of my favorite to read and study his life and work.
If you ever get the chance to come across the pond to America…there’s a wonderful cemetery in Louisville Kentucky…….id love to see you both visit there!..many famous people there… thank you for suffering wet feet and brambles for us!
GV, I noticed at 2.26 minutes into the video a person ran behind a large tomb stone on the right hand side of the video, the figure was dressed in white, could it have been a ghost, Perhaps you were being followed around the cemetery? I loved the video thank you..
Beautiful video of an old Cemetery in Dumfries Cathal. Hopefully one day you'll do some cemeteries in Edinburgh, and maybe you'll run across my Great-grandparents' grave in Edinburgh.
Robert Burns died at the age of 37, in 1796, from a rheumatic heart condition. Jean Armour gave birth to their last son, Maxwell, on the day of her husband's funeral.
That's sad
My mother also had a heart condition caused by rheumatic fever.

Beautiful graveyard, how nice you got inside
Here in the States, the cemeteries are getting lazy. They discourage families from having above ground stones for ease of cutting grass:/
Awesome!! Rabbie Burns!! Thanks GV!!😊
Thanks for watching mystic 👍
The plow on the relief in the mausoleum is to remind folks of his humble beginnings as a farmer.
I love the old stones that include more details about the person. I could read them all! Thank you, GV!
Glad you like them! They are beautiful for sure
stunning mausoleum of Robert Burns and beautiful cemetery ❤ I could wander around there for hours with those gorgeous headstones
How wonderful to see the resting place of the great Rabbie Burns. Those voices though! Spirits seem to love you GV. Thank you for another fantastic video
Beautiful mausoleum grateful to see inside
Very interesting to see Robert Burns mausoleum. What a beautiful tribute! As always you are greatly appreciated.

Beautiful cemetery and impressive memorial and crypt for Robert Burns, Nice that the tour guide showed up.
Wow GV! This place is packed with history. How lucky for us that you could enter the Burns memorial. The voices! 😲 Beautiful tour. Thanks GV!
Crazy stuff toms could also hear a woman's voice like she was answering him back. Even in the afterlife the woman has the last say 😂
Wow! Those were some voices!!! I want to try & figure out what they were saying. Did you hear the others at 13:58?👻 Incredible!!! Thanks for the video GV. Hello Sue.🥰
That one was creepy 😬
thought I heard "help me" Here in Nebraska USA & of Scot/Irish heritage.
" help me , please"😮@@LindaCork-ni7vl
I hear many whispers.
OMG you are correct! The voice seems very insistent.
Lovely GV my Dad lives right on the west coast of Dumfries 6 mile west of Stranraer, village name Kirkcolm ❤
Thanks GV for the tour. I Loved hearing the details of Rabbie Burns’s skull. I do think I saw that cast in the Burns Museum in Alloway. And those sounds in there. 😳

It really is!
Scottish accents are my favorite..
I love the accent hard to understand tho lol
Beautiful crypt for Robert Burns and his family❤ Glad you got to go in😊 I heard a womens voice in there was it Sue? Cool that some had what they did in life on the stones❤
Definitely heard a woman's voice.
Even in death the sexes are immutable.
Very vocal cemetary I must say. Not only at the mausoleum.
A very interesting cemetery and the I enjoyed how the gravestones even showed the work undertaken by the deceased ♥️🙏🏽 xx

It was funny to catch the caretaker trying to hide his bottle. You pointed out the blue placks(?) but I wish that you mentioned what they meant.
They are notable people
@@GraveVisitations Thank you
Enjoyed that have been to dumfries
Thanks Angela for watching
thank you for the Burns info, I had to giggle how his skull would show how clever he was, I wonder if they give the real skull back - mmmmm
I think they were supposed to know how intelligent he was by the size of the skull or different shape etc 🤷
Gorgeous memorial.
I always find so much peace in walking around in graveyards
Beautiful grave yard a lot of history
GV, I noticed at 2.26 minutes into the video a person ran behind a large tomb stone on the right hand side of the video, the figure was dressed in white, could it have been a ghost, Perhaps you were being followed around the cemetery? I loved the video thank you..
It's a woman walking looking around
Sometimes I think those secret societies do things like that
Like skull and bones secret society also Illuminati
Beautiful video of an old Cemetery in Dumfries Cathal. Hopefully one day you'll do some cemeteries in Edinburgh, and maybe you'll run across my Great-grandparents' grave in Edinburgh.
I have done videos in Edinburgh Joel
@@GraveVisitations I have seen them. Great job 👏 👍🏻
There were whispers when you first went in
My Halliday family are buried here . 🐨💗 my GGGGranda is in the cholera pit 😔 others buried elsewhere is that cemetery.
May they all rest in peace 🙏
Nice to know his skull wasn’t stolen. We know now bones would give no indication of genius 😊
😂 that lovely Scottish accent 😉
Love it
Beautiful place!
Fabulous cemetery nicest one yet..ty
Those voices are very strange
These headstones are huge
Yes I did hear that and I'm sitting yelling at you to get out 🤣
Hello Cousins in Scotland the Isle of Bute the Mc Curdy family
There was a surrealist moment where sky was covering Burns upper body and you moved to the other side to avoid reflection.
brilliant...
