The values in the transcription field can be found using the keywords search.<br><br>Scottish gravestones (especially of the 18th and 19th century) are considered to be culturally unique, with the potential for incredibly ostentatious memorials, particularly in the lowlands. The relatively soft sandstone used in the area was perfect for carving symbols and designs. The photographs that accompany this collection can contain heraldic devices, craft tools, symbols of mortality or ‘memento mori’, and more. These symbols often represented other details of a life, such as their occupation or trade.
