HWW ~ Balquhidder Parish church and its famous grave

HWW ~ Balquhidder Parish church and its famous grave
A new day brings us to the village of Balquhidder and Loch Voil. A look around this old nineteenth century church grounds also reveals an old church dedicated to St Angus (main photo). As we look here at the old stone cross it is hard to imagine on the other side sits the grave of one of Scotland’s most famous hero’s. Rob Roy McGregor –outlaw turned folk here. PiP 1
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Roy_MacGregor
PiP 2 shows the more modern nineteenth century church still in use today.

Enjoy the day.

Yes, this is were we parked our car for a high viewpoint and waterfall walk. The grave was a pure bonus but we have actually seen it before as we stopped in near here once for a holiday many years back. Yes the weather was fair on this day.

HWW, enjoy the week. Herb

HWW Herb ~ He was a lot more interesting whilst alive I suspect, we are just left with the bare bones. He lives on through legend and folk law

HWW Herb, ein Ort der Stille, der fotografisch einiges zu bieten hat.
Das Baumaterial fällt mir sofort ins Auge, heute unterwegs auch eine alte kleine Dorfkirche entdeckt, die mit solchem natürlichen Baumaterial errichtet wurde

Memories on grave stones... HWW Herb
3 months ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Xata club
Yes such memories live on long after the living. The real interest here form me should be the fact this the grave is such an important person in our British history.

HWW, enjoy the week. Herb
