    I love the large photo you have added as the blog header Frieda. All this documenting seems like a very good idea. Good for you, good for whomever is interested, good for historians - just plain good! ; 0) lenna

    I now live at tantah lodge and these little gems make all the difference, knowing some of the history of the house. Many thanks!

Thank you so much for visiting West Linton Graveyard. I would love to see your comments but there will be slight delay before they are visible due to the fact that I like to moderate them for security's sake. But rest assured I look forward to and will be grateful for your feedback.
