A reblog from a blog I follow

Graveyards of Scotland is a blog that I follow and I think how I started to follow it was when I posted about visiting Tomnahourich in Inverness when I was a child.  The link to that blog came up on my screen when writing the post because I was visiting a cemetery. https://graveyardsofscotland.com/2022/11/12/one-man-on-an-island/ If you…
