A short tour of the old cemetery in #Kirkoswald, #Ayrshire. With their wealth of characters, some of the graves inspired the poet Robert Burns. Here, a 18th C grave of a farmer.

I’m sure I will have squeezed through that stile many times, years ago. Rambled for miles along the paths and fields round Kirkoswald as a girl. Memories.

The lovely church of St Oswald, naming the village of Kirkoswald, with its unusual separate bell tower on the hill above. A church has stood on the site since the 7th century, the present building dating to 1523.

New favourite churchyard. Are old graveyards the best place to spend a sunny day in October? Quite possibly.

Kirkoswald Old Kirk - another with graves of people that inspired characters in Burns poems. And the font where Burns was baptised/christened. And a church ruin. And some lovely old trees.

And a few from my other #WaxcapWatch surveys yesterday at Kirkoswald (new) Cemetery and Dunure Cemetery (which is the place I might choose if I was going to be buried somewhere - what a spot!). Orange peel fungi (if correct) and meadow coral fungi, both new for me.

The path to the church was 500 years old & better than any public footpath in our city centres. And a lovely old church with the Priests listed from the 1200’s. #KirkOswald

Visited #KirkOswald today. Had a quick coffee & browsed a fabulous book from the 50’s of the local area. Photos from said book. The following caught my eye. High jump in a flat cap, and the protective suit for a nuclear plant

Kirkoswald castle in Cumbria received a license from King John in 1210 to fortify the original structure. The Castle was later destroyed by Robert the Bruce in 1314, but was rebuilt and extended in the late 15th Century.
All that remains now is a tower some 60 feet high.
