I remember coming across the Jewish part of the cemetery about 20 years ago and it struck me as a rather exotic place, well for a Glasgow boy who had never been further than Cornwall on holiday, with all the Hebrew writing on the gravestones etc.
A schoolmate took me up to the Carmunock graveyard years ago to show me the 'Pirates' grave!!, and there it was in all it's splendour with a skull and crossbone's engraved into the ancient stone with a 1700's date no less. (Very much Pirate time in my book)
Sadly Ronnie (The Voice of Reason) put a damper on my romantic notion of Pirate Graves last week by telling me that there were hundreds like this throughout the city
And had nothing to do with Piracy
I'll hand you over to The Authority that is Ronnie for a proper and informed answer to this style of grave.
Ronnie it's all yours mate.
