Scope and Content Gravestone with ionic pilasters, Linton churchyard, Scottish Borders Unfortunately the inscription on this gravestone is badly weathered and is now almost wholly illegible. Within the pediment, the winged cherub represents the soul of the departed ascending to heaven. Between the Ionic pilasters, an hourglass signifies human mortality, whilst the skull and crossbones symbolise death. The graveyards of Scotland are an important part of the cultural heritage of the country and can provide fascinating information for people interested in family or local history, as well as vernacular art.
