Some of the many thousands of Bluebells found in and around Bridgend Woods in early spring. These were standing out in some beautiful bright April sunshine
Lighthouse keeper’s headstone at Kilchoman, Isle of Islay
Image
Possibly the most impressive gravestone on Islay, a memorial headstone to a member of the family of an assistant lightkeeper at the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. I believe the inscription reads: Ja.B. Scott — August 20, 1845. I read that is uses the emblem of the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB).
This headstone used to be at the wall between Kilchoman church and Kilchoman Cottages, where I took this picture in June 2018. However, I understand it has recently disappeared. If anyone knows where it is please share any information you might have.
