Longside


In the church yard is the grave of the Laird of Udny's Fool, Jamie Fleeman. On the grave stone is the inscription, "Dinna Bury Me Like a Beast." He died in 1778
Also buried here is the Reverend John Skinner, died 1807. A staunch Episcopalian, he was also the author of 'Tullochgorum'. Robert Burns said "It was the best Scotch song ever Scotland saw."
Today I am having to re-plant all the summer bulbs I put into pots as the ducks have dibbled them all out!
