I went for a walk in Tain today and ended up at the old St Duthus Church, now only used for special occasions. I was fascinated with the beautiful patterns on some of the stonework inside and the ancient inscriptions on the old memorial stones.
I rather liked the one with the ivy growing round the base in the bottom left. It says:
"Death hides but it cannot divide, you are but on Christ's other side, Christ with you and Christ with me, and so together still are we."
It must have made a difference to the person who had it inscribed on the memorial stone back in 19th century and perhaps to some others since.
