A Son of the Rock

While in Meigle we had a wander round and found the kirkyard had some interesting features.

Vanora’s Mound:-

This is supposedly the burial mound of Vanora, the legendary King Arthur’s Queen, otherwise known as Guinevere:-

A stone on the Church wall commemorates the burial place of Henry Campbell-Bannerman and Sarah Charlotte Campbell-Bannerman. Henry Campbell-Bannerman was once Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the first to formally hold that title apparently, and also the only PM to die in No 10 Downing Street though he had been succeeded as PM by Herbert Asquith ten days previously.

This gravestone mentions a James Bruce who died at the wonderfully named Pocahontas, Illinois:-
