The snow has completely disappeared and the gravestones are once more in proper view. I don't usually feature too many modern gravestones but for this blog I will eventually record all the stones in West Linton graveyard so when my eye fell on this impressive one, with beautiful patterns, I could not resist.
It was erected for Sir Robert Aitken and the full inscription reads:
In
loving memory
of
Robert Aitken
born May 1863
died 18th April 1924
and his wife
Caroline
Mary Lobb
who died
13th February 1937
Also their daughter
Margery Grace Black
born 5th November 1897
died 11th July 1961
Apparently Sir Robert had something to do with the Imperial Bank of India in his day.
Don't you just love the Celtic knot patterns on this stone? Very inspirational.
