Since Hamish (dreadhead) can't get out much at the mo and not wanting to waste the lovely weather today, we decided to set up the hammock and enjoy the views from our private graveyard

 

[Harvestman]

Nice pics. The colour-changing hammock is quite impressive too

[Dreadhead]

[Johnnyboy1971]

Nice one. Cheers for that, i have the camping hammock but much prefer how yours is hanging.

 

[Dreadhead]

i had the camping hammock before and never had a problem with it. but when i won this hammock i gave the old one tae a friend, the mozzie net is handy

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

It is obviously the new DD "Vampire" model. Light, holywater proof and completely UV-resistent.

Don't really know much about it, except that it's part of the Kinnoull estate, Perth. It forms part of the garden, on the land attached to the house. It's really old though, some of the graves are dated from the 17thC. Tis pretty cool, some of the graves have skull n cross bones on, most have fallen down now, looks pretty gnarly. But because of the views over the rest of the land, makes a great place to chill out Would actually like to find more about it, might be a little project for me today

I thought I recognised it, I used to spend a lot of time in the woods to the north east of you. I may have a reference for a book which might have more info. for you, I'll look it out.

Edited to add:

The fair land of Gowrie.
By Lawrence Melville

Long out of print, but the library will have it or will be able to get it.

Here is a link to a page to give you an idea of what to expect.

Tis pretty cool, some of the graves have skull n cross bones on,

Templar/masonic graves had the skull and crossbones emblem after the pope and french king had them dealt with in the 13th century. It became their new symbol and the flag under which their fleet sailed.
