- The Alloway Auld Kirk, which dates back to the 16th Century, is a ruin in Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland, celebrated as the scene of the witches' dance in the poem "Tam o' Shanter" by Robert Burns.
William Burnes, father of the poet, is buried in the graveyard together with his daughter Isabella as well as two of his nieces. Alloway was where he and his wife had first raised their family before moving to Mount Oliphant and Lochlea, and William had attempted to maintain the grounds of the Kirk, which was already a ruin at the time. The original memorial stone has eroded and the present day stone differs in wording, memorializing both of Burns's parents, and includes an epitaph the poet wrote for his father. Burns's sister, Isabella Burns Begg, is also buried in the Kirkyard, along with other notable figures such as David Cathcart, Lord Alloway.
Robert Burns presented his friend John Richmond with a silver mounted snuffbox made with wood taken from the rafters of the Auld Alloway Kirk. The snuffbox bears the inscription; "Frae the oak that bare the riggin', O Alloway's auld haunted biggin', Frae the thorn aboon the well, Whaur Mungo's mither hanged hersel'."

I like Robert Burn's monument . Specially the stairs winding up. The grave stone carvings are fantastic. Thank you.
Anxious to hear about the way to read the stone!!👍👍👍🌞🌞
Wow, the skeleton stone was unreal. Top find.
It’s fantastic that you are learning about all the carvings on the stones. I’m looking forward to that! Really enjoyed this ancient place♥️
ditto 👍 😃
@@violetdreams1799 Wow, I love your lovely TH-cam name! 💜 Wish I’d thought of it 🪻
New subscriber here! 😊 You have a pleasant voice and soothing manner of speech, which adds to the serenity of these tours. I’m from the U.S. so have never seen graves from the 1600s before. The raised and intricate stone carvings are just amazing! Would love to see your analysis of these. Fascinating to see the little stonewalled courtyards covered in ivy behind the monument doors, the font for ‘diseased’ persons, and the grates for decomposition to discourage grave robbers. I also appreciate the historic info. plaques and the poetry references. Enchanting! 👏🏻
Absolutely amazing. Too bad we don't have cemeteries like that in my town. Thank you Dan
Beautiful graveyard. A lyric for the eyes and heart. ❤
What a place. Absolutely gorgeous
I live in a small town in Texas called Midlothian. We were named after a train engineers Scottish home. I got so excited when i heard you say East Lothian.
Thank you that was great! I visited RB birthplace in the 1970's that is a beautiful old graveyard.
Dan thanks for another great video and enjoyed seeing the Burns monument. The cemetery was really beautiful Dan thank you very much.
fabulous! this is definitely one of the most interesting graveyards you've taken us to.. would love to see a video on reading gravestones! you're awesome Dan ❤ thanks for everything!
I do love the plaques beside the stones. Wonderful idea.
What an interesting graveyard that was eerily beautiful omg that door sounded like a woman's scream 😱 😳 😍
I hear it in my sleep lol
@@deadgoodwalks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Peek a BOO 👻
Just waiting and I couldn't resist 😂🤣😅🤣😂
Nice one Dan. Nice info again and like the area. 👻🦇👍
I would love to know how to read those old interesting headstones with the devil and skull and crossbones. The first ones I saw were in Salem Mass graves for the victims. Really cool.
Dang. I wanted to see what was behind the other door in the memorial to Robbie Burns. I love the memorial with the squeaky door.
What a great cemetery. Rey nice of you to show the Robert Burns monument. Thanks a lot Martha
My pleasure Martha x
Beautiful cemetery! sad nobody is taking care of the headstones..

Wow absolutely fascinating and the views beautiful from the monument of the town. 🇺🇸
Very interesting grave stones and cemetery! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Dan!! Very cool place 😊
Nicely done !!!
This is my favorite graveyard yet
interesting video as always!
there is a town near here called Allouez, pronounced like Alloway, so every time you said it perked my ears!
Lápides muito bem trabalhadas mereciam uma limpeza para ver melhor os detalhes
If by any change I passed by that graveyard and heard that door squeak , day or night , I would completely desintegrate into some sort of post-human gelatine right where I stood . Good Lord !!! Fantastic video and location as always .
I can't get the noise out my head still
Wow, so cool. Thanks for sharing with us 😊
Those old Gravestones are so beautiful & interesting, thanks for showing their details.😊
Love your videos. Thank you for taking us to some very interesting places. Sending you lots of well wishes from Texas, USA
Very good walk, and I love your editing, no time is wasted.
Greets, Tom, Belgium.
Thanks Tom, yep no fancy gimmicks, we just walk whilst looking at the best stuff
Looking forward to it! 🎉
Awesome brother!
Great graveyard😊
Thanks for sharing this cemetery🪦
Everything 💩 s!😅 nicely done 😊
Tam O’ Shanter is my favourite poem. Alloway is a beautiful place with the most haunting atmosphere. Did you see the bridge where the Tam O Shanter poem is related to? Great video again!! Love it.
It sure is a bit haunting! Yes had a nice walk over the bridge, can just see it in my video when I go up the monument
Where Maggie lost ". . .her ain gray tail"? 🐎
We visited that church yard very late at night after a wedding at the Brig o' Doon. There was quite a spooky lightshow with spooky noises coming from the old kirk. Not something that us oldies would normally do but it was fun to be there at midnight in Tam O'Shanter country.
Nice!
Terrific insight
And on the Clipper Ship "Cutty Sark" the horses tail is held by one of the witches 🙂
That would be Maggie, Tam's mare. "Better never lifted leg"! 🐎
Danke 😊
Welcome Bine!
Lovely place
WD40, ah that dog's taking a poop, and it's a wee bit blowy! This is why I watch! The verbal commentary is the best! Where have you been bud? I haven't got a notice from TH-cam in weeks! Great scenic video, beautiful graveyard and superb commentary! I've missed you! 🤣😂🤣
Haha thanks Janet!
Oh you are up my way we have some amazing graveyards. There is one in a wee village south of Ayr called Kirkoswald and the graveyards there has links to Robert bruce and robert burns. Have fun xx
❤❤❤
Another fascinating video. Thanks!
Maybe the harvest-looking stone was depicting the scripture that says He is the vine and we are the branches?
I'd buy that, makes sense. Thanks
❤
Dumfriess is my family town , if possible could you take footage of the cholera pit at the general cemetery. I would really appreciate that ,my GGGranda is in there. He died when cholera hit troqueer over the river and in Dumfriess area. 🐨😃 I am in Australia
Ahhh the videos already done I'm afraid. But I'll remember next time I'm up that way
Wow so interesting thank you again
The Devil disguised as a dog playing bagpipes, and witches dancing to the music... you *know* Burns was ingesting/snorting/smoking something. 😀
FR
It’s all true! Lol
We are having outages in my area. I came on for a second and then I went offline again. Sorry I missed it!!
Hope the weather improves Cathy. You were missed x
American pronunciation of lieutenant at 4.03.😇 His date was 1832.
I think 3-in-one might be better on those hinges.
You need to come to the U.S. come see the memorials and monuments of the French/indian war and the colonial war/revolutionary war. More beautiful English/American history
What information can you get from the cryptic carvings and symbols if they could be read? Ty
Going from what I can see, the General John Hughes died in 1822 and was 69 years old.
I'll be here 😊
I really like the old stones but could you tell us the date. I like knowing how old they are thanks
I think I read quite a few out, it’s a fine balance to keep everyone happy, some enjoy the walk but others want to read every stone. If you view in 4K it’s easy to read them. Hope this helps
So these mausoleums, have the coffins been removed or are they buried under foot???
As far as I know they are underfoot. Whether they originally were I'm not sure, I guess they could have been placed above ground but when the roof falls in etc... they could then be placed underground.
LX is 60 and IX is 9. I hope I am right.
General John Hughes died 1833 I think.
13:45 Is this the Brig o' Doon over which Tam o' Shanter on his horse Maggie escaped Nannie the witch - the one wearing the cutty sark - leaving the mare's tail in her hand as she reached out to grab him? I think Burns was buried in Dumfries because he died there.
Yes on both, Burns lived in Dumfries for a while and that is where he died
Sure is
2023 MMXXIII
The crypts appear to be empty. Are the bodies buried in the ground? I thought in a crypt the coffins were simply place inside.
Yes the graves are inside the walls and that’s just one style. There are many different types of mausoleums.
Skeletons, Sculls and hour glasses etc. were to remind the living how few years we have, even for a relatively long life, and the hour glass especially, is a reminder of the time slipping away faster than we think. Added to that is biblical quotes and wise sayings to make you take it very seriously. You will be very unlikely to see any of those warnings on recently erected tomb stones these days. That, unfortunately, is a reflection on these modern secular times and a reflection of the sad state of the lack of preaching of the true gospel nowadays. Not so many preachers are faithful enough to warn us for our own good, to seek forgiveness of our sins and obtain everlasting life before it’s too late. It matters not, that these warnings were given to people who lived long long before any of us today were even born, for the self same circumstances are true of each and every one of us!
Please dear friends, think seriously about your eternal soul and call on the name of the Lord Romans 10: 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
People are more educated these days.😊

The finest education will not impress God.
1 Corinthians 1: 20
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.

Seen no grave in there
Who's Robert burns
I love the way you’re on, literally USING the greatest and largest agglomeration of human knowledge in all of history, with almost any piece of knowledge only a computer mouse click, or tap on a phone touchscreen away………and you ask “who’s Robert Burns?”
Hello everyone 😍😍
Hello.
1800 in roman numerals isMDCCC. M-1000 D 500 C 100 CCC - 300 DCCC - 800. 33 part X-10 XXX-30 I -1 III -3
Please video yourself, so I can see whom I'm listening to, Thanks 😊
I have seen his feet😂
Maybe he doesn’t wish to appear on camera.
@@paulinemegson8519 No harm in asking. If he doesn't want to all he need do is say so. No harm, no foul.
I show my face for people who join channel membership and on livestream but I don’t think it would be beneficial to my main videos
Do u ever see witch marks
I haven't but then again I don't really look for them. Perhaps it's something to look out for in future videos
mdcccxxxii = 1832
