Tombstone Tuesday - 2009-Feb-17

These are pictures from Edinburgh Castle, in, of all places, Edinburgh, Scotland. When looking down from one spot, you see a little piece of land jutting out from one of the many walls of the castle not easily gotten to by tourists, it's the cemetery for dogs owned by soldiers garrisoned at the castle. I thought it was sweet that they did that. Some of the names that I can make out are:

Don
Major
Scamp
Tinker

  1. Super cool. I didn't know such a place existed near or around a castle. Just goes to show how important animals are everywhere.

  2. What a neat cemetery! We just buried our dog that we had for 16 years. What they've done makes me think we can do that too!
