Change of Use!

This dry stone wall built by Duncan Haddow was to be a retaining wall but the owner of the garden decided not to fill in the back. It then became a bridge!

If you look closely you can see a stone used as a spout for water to run through. This stone (found buried in the garden) matches some surviving 18th century open drains in the street.

I really enjoyed looking at the photographs on your site. Below is a link to a photograph of family burial plot in a cemetery in the United States for a family from Scotland that was built in the early 1800's. I was wondering if you could tell me whether this type of cemetery enclosure was common in Scotland. I tried to put the photograph in this comment, but couldn't figure out how to do that.
