Not Buried in a Scottish Churchyard

Peculiar horror was manifested towards Scottish suicides. Such were not buried in the churchyard. A fierce fight once took place in a churchyard in the middle of Banff-shire, to prevent the burial of a suicide in it. By an early hour all the strong men of the parish who were opposed to an act so sacrilegious were astir and hastening to the churchyard with their weapons of defence, strong sticks. The churchyard was taken possession of and the walls manned. The gate and more accessible parts of the wall were assigned to picked men. In due time the suicide's coffin appeared, surrounded by an excited crowd, for the most part armed with sticks. Some, however, carried spades sharpened on the edge. Fierce and long was the fight at the gate, and not a few rolled in the dust. The assailing party was beaten off. A grave was dug outside the churchyard, close beneath the wall, and the coffin laid in it. The lid was lifted, and a bottle of vitriol poured over the body. Before the lid could be again closed, the fumes of the dissolving body were rising thickly over the heads of actors and spectators. This was done to prevent the body from being lifted during the coming night from its resting place, conveyed back to its abode when in life, and placed against the door, to fall at the feet of the member of the family that was the first to open the door in the morning.

Reverend Walter Gregor.

Ancestry Tours of Scotland Folklore

The body lay on the bed in the best room; it had on a shirt well ruffled, a night cap, and the hands were crossed over the breast. A white sheet was spread over all, white napkins were pinned down on all the chair cushions, spread over the chest of drawers and the tables, and pinned over the few prints hung on the walls. Two bottles of wine and a plate of seed cake were on one small table, bread, cheese, butter, and whisky on another. Read More.

Scottish Peasants

The Highlanders walk nimbly and upright, so that you will never see, among the meanest of them, in the remote parts, the clumsy, stooping gait of the French peasants, or my own country fellows, but, on the contrary, a kind of stateliness in the midst of their poverty. Edward Burt.

The young women of the mountains of Scotland are, in general, remarkably clean, when compared with our peasants. There is a charm in the arrangement of their hair, and an ease and grace in their manner of holding their head. Their short petticoat, commonly of a deep colour, shows off the whiteness of their legs, which are admirably shaped, though large and vigorous. They have the beauty of strength. Charles Nodier.


Scottish Proverbs and Scottish Sayings
.

Scottish Paupers

Every Sunday a collection is made in the different congregations for the sick and necessitous, as poor's rates are unknown in Scotland; but as the natives can practice the lesson of being content with little, or are possessed of such a spirit of independence, that they will not submit to the disgrace of asking alms without urgent necessity, the small pittance thus gathered weekly, and placed under the distribution of the minister and elders, has hitherto been found sufficient for every purpose of regular charity. Thus in a country where the greatest number are poor, there are yet very few beggars. Thomas Pennant (1769).

Scottish Proverbs and Scottish Sayings.

Scottish Grace

A conversation took place, about saying grace at breakfast, as we do in Scotland, as well as at dinner and supper; in which Dr. Johnson said, "It is enough if we have stated seasons of prayer; no matter when. A man may as well pray when he mounts his horse, or a woman when she milks her cow, which Mr Grant told us is done in the Highlands of Scotland, as at meals; and custom is to be followed." Boswell.

She never had another.

The place no one can tell;
But when she'll rise at the last day,
She'll ken the stane hersel'.

Balquhidder Graveyard, near the grave of Rob Roy Macgregor. The present Balquhidder Parish Church, is of 19th century date. As well as the slab attributed to St. Angus, the ancient, primitive font, probably of early medieval origin, is preserved in this building. There is a display on the history of Balquhidder in the church, which is open to the public during the summer. Rob Roy Macgregor and his family are buried in the old Kirkyard, as are many from Clan MacLaren who acquired the district in the 9th century and occupied it for several hundred years until ousted by the MacGregors.
